How it started
What happened
Major crypto exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and Robinhood, are expanding their services to become full investment platforms by integrating traditional stock offerings. Binance began offering direct access to options on over 1,000 US stocks and ETFs for international customers. Separately, firms like Robinhood and Kraken have increased their offerings of tokenized securities, while MoonPay acquired North Capital Investment Technology, a firm specializing in brokerage services and asset tokenization.

Why it matters
This trend involves packaging stocks and other assets as tokens on the blockchain. By offering traditional assets, platforms like Binance aim to access the enormous traditional wealth management market. This expansion increases competition between crypto exchanges and established financial institutions.
