Binance adds covered call and cash-secured put stock options

  • —Covered calls are written against underlying shares; puts require USDC collateral equal to the full strike
  • —Only limit orders are supported, and the product is restricted for U.S. users
  • —Commission is $0.60 per contract with platform and exercise fees waived
  • —Stock options launched on Sept. 1, 2026, with physical settlement
Why it matters: Binance is widening access to traditional equities through crypto rails, raising competitive pressure on brokers and tokenized-stock venues.
