Exchanges Expand into Tokenized Stocks and Pre-IPO Derivatives
What happened
Robinhood and Kraken are offering tokenized stock products, while Binance has expanded into stock trading, tokenized equities, and pre-IPO derivatives. Binance previously offered perpetual futures tied to private companies, such as SPCXUSDT, which tracked SpaceX before its Nasdaq listing. On September 19, tokenized stockholders reached 3.7 million, representing an 86% rise over 30 days, with distributed value exceeding $3 billion.

This trend is supported by high demand for on-chain versions of stocks and private shares. The ability of Binance to facilitate trading related to SpaceX assets validates the market's capacity for high-profile corporate listings.
