Binance added advanced charts, portfolio tracking with S&P 500 comparison, and DTC stock transfers, strengthening its tokenized equity platform against rivals like Bybit.
Binance rolled out a set of upgrades to its stock trading platform on Thursday, adding candlestick charting with intervals from one minute to monthly views, a dedicated portfolio tracker, and the ability to transfer U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs from other brokerages. The changes are live for eligible users with access to the exchange's stocks section.
The charting overhaul includes horizontal scrolling, percentage and logarithmic display modes, and an option to toggle extended hours data for intervals below one day. Traders who rely on technical analysis now have tools comparable to dedicated equity platforms, which could draw more volume to Binance's tokenized stock offering.
Portfolio tracking now sits inside the Funding Wallet, separate from cryptocurrency holdings. The view shows current value, cost price, unrealized gains and losses, and allows users to compare performance against the S&P 500. Each stock page also gained a Financials tab with earnings, revenue, margins, and other key metrics. The S&P comparison feature is notable because it gives long-term holders a direct benchmark, potentially encouraging buy-and-hold behavior on the platform.
The transfer feature uses the standard DTC process, letting users move U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs from other brokerages into Binance. Options, bonds, and futures are excluded, and only one active transfer request per asset type is allowed at a time. This reduces friction for users consolidating accounts, a move that could accelerate asset inflows to Binance's stock platform.
The upgrades arrive as the tokenized equity market expands. Binance bStocks passed $610 million in market value in late July, overtaking xStocks to become the second-largest issuer behind Ethena's sUSDe. Rival Bybit has also pushed into tokenized equities, adding Meta and Tesla shares through its xStocks product. The charting and portfolio tools give Binance a functional edge for active traders, while the DTC transfers lower the barrier for moving existing equity holdings onto the platform.
The improvements are available immediately. Binance did not disclose user adoption numbers for the new features.
