1inch has integrated 77 tokenized stocks and ETFs onto the BNB Chain, expanding access to US equities via blockchain-based tokens. These BEP-20 tokens are backed 1:1 by underlying US shares.
Why it matters
The integration aims to simplify access to US equities for retail investors while allowing them to maintain self-custody of their assets. It further enables features like 24/7 trading and automated dividend reinvestment outside of traditional market hours.
The bStocks platform has expanded from 15 assets in early July to 77 available stocks and ETFs. BNB Chain currently hosts approximately $1 billion in tokenized equities, accounting for 30-34% of the total tokenized stock sector.
The players

Market Dynamics
The expansion follows the broader move toward tokenizing real-world assets on-chain, positioning blockchain platforms as alternative venues for traditional finance. This shift challenges legacy brokerage models by offering continuous trading hours and decentralized custody.
Investors can now trade tokenized US stocks 24/7 without needing a traditional brokerage account. However, users should be aware that trading tokens outside of standard market hours may lead to pricing gaps relative to the underlying equities.
The takeaway
Tokenized assets offer unique benefits like continuous trading, but they require investors to navigate the complexities of decentralized wallets. Diversification and awareness of market liquidity remain essential when trading equities outside of conventional hours.
