Binance and OKX eye tokenized US stocks comeback

[AIcash]

Binance and OKX are reportedly exploring the reintroduction of tokenized US stocks, signaling a strategic pivot as crypto trading volumes remain stagnant in 2026.

Binance previously tested stock tokens in 2021 before shutting the product down under regulatory pressure from BaFin and the UK’s FCA. Now, reports suggest a potential relaunch aimed at non-US users, creating a parallel, 24/7 equity market outside direct SEC oversight.

OKX is said to be considering similar offerings as part of its real-world asset (RWA) expansion, though neither exchange has confirmed timelines or listings.
