Islamabad (GNP): Crypto and multi-asset trading platform BingX has rolled out U.S. stock trading by integrating with Alpaca, a global provider of brokerage infrastructure and APIs. Eligible users can now reach more than 7,000 U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), broadening the traditional assets on offer and furthering the platform’s multi-asset strategy.
Using Alpaca’s brokerage infrastructure, eligible users can trade U.S. stocks and ETFs within BingX and fund purchases with crypto they already hold. No fiat deposit is needed, and users do not have to manage a separate brokerage account.
BingX stressed that this differs from tokenized products that merely mirror stock prices. Here, users get access to actual U.S. securities, with custody, clearing and settlement handled through brokerage infrastructure. The company described the launch as a further move toward joining digital assets and traditional markets in a single trading experience.
- Crypto funding: Trades can be paid for with USDT and USDC, with no wire transfers or extra brokerage accounts.
- Wide selection: More than 7,000 stocks and ETFs, from established leaders to firms tied to emerging trends.
- Low entry point: Trading starts from as little as $5.
- Extended hours: Access 24 hours a day, five days a week.
- Order types: Market and limit orders are supported.
Kevin Lee, BingX’s Chief Strategy Officer, said wider access to U.S. stocks helps make global market opportunities easier for users to reach. Since equities, commodities, currencies and digital assets increasingly influence one another, he explained, offering U.S. stocks through Alpaca gives users more ways to engage with these markets on one multi-asset platform.
Yoshi Yokokawa, Alpaca’s Co-Founder and CEO, said BingX has built a global community seeking several asset classes in one place. Alpaca’s infrastructure and APIs, he noted, are designed to let partners add U.S. equities to their existing services, and Alpaca is glad to support BingX in bringing U.S. stock trading to users worldwide.

To mark the launch, BingX is running a limited-time $200,000 Stocks Mystery Box from October 9 to 23. Eligible users who complete their first U.S. stock trade can receive $10 in Tesla (TSLA) stock. The company said the launch supports its broader goal of linking digital assets with traditional financial markets.
