Binance is exploring relisting stock tokens.

Binance is exploring the relaunch of equity tokens on its platform, after delisting the product in 2021. Equity tokens are digital tokens of publicly traded company stock. Investors don't need to buy entire shares of Apple or Microsoft, but rather portions of the stock; these tokens are held and settled on the blockchain and track the underlying asset price in real time. A Binance spokesperson told The Information, "Exploring the possibility of offering equity tokens is a natural next step in our mission to more closely integrate traditional finance with cryptocurrency." However, legal hurdles remain. Equity tokens are one of several unresolved issues in the crypto market structure bill currently being pushed through Congress. Industry insiders say that the launch of such products will be delayed under the current provisions of the bill. (The Information)
