Binance will begin accepting ten new bStocks tokens representing publicly traded securities as collateral across its Cross Margin, Portfolio Margin and Portfolio Margin Pro products. The change will take effect on July 29 at 12:00 UTC and covers well-known names ranging from Apple and Amazon to PayPal and Goldman Sachs.
The tokens added to the list are Apple (AAPLB), Bloom Energy (BEB), Amazon (AMZNB), Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares ETF (SOXSB), Dell (DELLB), Fluence Energy (FLNCB), Applied Materials (AMATB), PayPal (PYPLB), Goldman Sachs (GSB) and VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMHB).
The corresponding bStocks trading pairs will also become available for margin trading at the same time. This means Binance users will be able to use tokenized versions of these US-listed securities as collateral for margin positions alongside conventional crypto assets.
The scope remains limited for now. The update applies only to the three specified margin products, while borrowing the tokens themselves will not be supported. Users can provide bStocks as collateral, but they cannot borrow these assets through Binance’s margin platform.
Access will also remain restricted. The feature will be available only to VIP 3 users and above in eligible jurisdictions. Users located in restricted regions will not be able to use the new functionality.
Binance has previously introduced new products gradually, often giving higher-volume customer segments access first before considering a broader rollout based on demand. It remains unclear whether the VIP 3 requirement will eventually be lowered.
How do bStocks work?
bStocks Tokenized Securities are not entirely new to Binance. The exchange already offers them on a secondary-market basis to eligible users in supported regions. The latest announcement expands how these assets can be used by allowing selected tokens to serve as collateral within Binance’s margin framework.
Binance advised users to monitor their margin levels closely when using bStocks as collateral. This warning becomes especially relevant for assets such as SOXSB, which tracks a leveraged inverse exchange-traded fund.
Leveraged and inverse products can experience significantly sharper price movements than standard stock tokens. Traders using these assets as collateral therefore need to assess margin-call and liquidation risks differently from those associated with conventional bStocks tokens.
SOXSB, for example, represents the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares ETF, a product designed to deliver amplified inverse exposure to the daily performance of semiconductor stocks. Its value can move rapidly when the underlying sector changes direction, making it potentially more volatile as collateral.
Binance provides the complete and updated list of eligible collateral assets on its margin data page. The exchange has also published a separate methodology explaining how index prices for bStocks collateral assets are calculated.
The announcement does not introduce any additional changes beyond this expansion. Binance has not announced borrowing support for the ten tokens, access in new jurisdictions or a wider rollout to lower VIP tiers.
For now, the update is limited to adding these ten bStocks tokens to the list of eligible collateral assets and enabling margin trading for their corresponding pairs.
