BNB Chain DEX Expands with Metric's bStock Trading Launch

Introduction

Tokenized stocks on BNB Chain have a new place to trade. Metric has opened its decentralized exchange on the network, letting users trade and provide liquidity for bStocks, the BEP-20 tokens that represent US stocks and ETFs.

What is bStocks?

bStocks are tokenized versions of US equities and exchange-traded funds. Each one lives on BNB Chain as a BEP-20 token, the network's standard token format.

How does Metric's DEX work?

Metric's smart contracts are deployed on BNB Smart Chain, which carries chain ID 56. The same contracts also run on Ethereum and Robinhood Chain.

Background

Metric did not arrive empty-handed. Before going public with its DEX launches, the team reported more than $10 billion in cumulative trading volume.

bStocks History

bStocks launched around June 11, 2026. The product is backed by regulated custody from BTech Holdings Ltd., an affiliate of the Binance group. By July 2026, bStocks accounted for about 85% of tokenized equity DEX volume.

For BNB Chain users, the most immediate change is choice. bStocks now have another venue where they can be traded and pooled, with pricing tied to external market data. For the broader BNB Chain ecosystem, composability is the bigger story. If bStocks liquidity on Metric connects smoothly with protocols like PancakeSwap, tokenized equities could start behaving like regular DeFi building blocks rather than isolated novelties.

Conclusion

For now, the setup is straightforward. bStocks bring the dominant market share, BTech Holdings brings the custody, and Metric brings an oracle-anchored DEX with a reported $10 billion-plus track record.
