“BINANCE allows you to exchange bStocks for actual stocks 1:1 anytime on their platform.”
What are bStocks?
They arere tokenized securities on Binance that allow you to gain exposure to US equities directly through the exchange. Each bStock token is backed 1:1 by an actual US share held at a regulated custodian, giving you the economic benefits of holding the asset.
Are bStocks the same as owning stocks directly?
No. bStocks are not direct ownership of shares in the underlying company. They provide exposure to price performance and economic benefits such as dividends, but they are structured as Certificates representing certain Financial Instruments rather than direct equity ownership.
How are dividends paid on bStocks?
The net dividend value is automatically reinvested into the underlying stock and your bStock balance increases in the equivalent proportion, instead of being paid out in cash.
