- Binance Research predicts that crypto exchanges could bring 300 million new investors and nearly $2 trillion in fresh capital to global stock markets by 2031 through tokenized stocks and stablecoin-based trading.
- The report’s bullish outlook suggests that cryptocurrency users could contribute up to $5 trillion in additional equity capital annually over the next five years, driven by growing adoption and improved market access.
- According to Binance Research, 93% of Binance stock traders come from emerging markets, where high brokerage fees, limited access to international equities, and banking friction continue to restrict investment opportunities.
One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, Binance, provides a variety of financial products, blockchain services, and digital asset trading.
According to Binance Research, as stablecoins and tokenized stocks lower previous hurdles related to cost, access, settlement, and brokerage reach in underbanked countries worldwide, cryptocurrency exchanges may emerge as a significant entryway into international stock markets.
The next 300 million equity investors are coming from emerging markets.
They’ll be onboarded through crypto exchanges, settling in stablecoins, trading 24/7.

According to the research, people who currently own digital assets but do not have easy access to major stock markets can use cryptocurrency exchanges as a distribution layer.
Binance Research Predicts $5 Trillion Equity Opportunity
Over the next five years, cryptocurrency users might contribute $5 trillion in additional equity capital annually, according to the research’s bull thesis.
According to Binance Research, the projection takes into account the number of cryptocurrency users worldwide, exchange coverage, eligibility, adoption rates, and typical position sizes.
Nearly 93% of Binance stock traders are from emerging nations, according to the research. Binance Research connected that share to persistent obstacles such as exorbitant brokerage fees, restricted access to international markets, and banking friction.
Binance Research Predicts 300 Million New Equity Investors From Emerging Markets
According to Binance Research on X, “the next 300 million equity investors are coming from emerging markets.” Users may settle in stablecoins, be onboarded through cryptocurrency exchanges, and engage in round-the-clock trading, according to the post.
Stablecoin-settled stock trading, according to Binance Research, may reduce international expenses. According to the analysis, stablecoins can reduce off-ramp fees for users transferring money across borders by an average of 3.6% and roughly $40 each transaction.
TradFi-linked perpetuals already make up around 10% of stablecoin trading activity, the company continued. As investors seek 24/7 exposure through the same accounts they use for cryptocurrency, it is stated that tokenized stocks and direct stock trading might expand that use case.
The news comes after Binance’s more extensive efforts to get access to established markets. Binance intends to allow non-US customers to trade over 7,000 US stocks and ETFs with no costs and fractional purchases starting at $5, as previously reported by Binance Research.
Binance Targets On-chain Stock Trading With New bStocks Initiative
Binance intends to launch bStocks, a tokenized equity instrument for qualified BNB Chain customers. With potential applications in loan and liquidity markets, the proposed product would enable users to transform supported stocks into on-chain assets.
BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, Ondo Finance, DTCC, Euroclear, and other significant market firms have increased their positions in the tokenization competition, as previously reported.
By March 2026, tokenized treasuries continued to be the largest category of real-world assets, while tokenized stocks had surpassed $960 million.
According to Binance Research, its numbers are neither guaranteed projections nor investment advice. According to the paper, user eligibility, legislation, custody, market depth, and exchange support will continue to influence the adoption of tokenized stocks.
