A major step in Binance’s vision to build a multi-asset financial super app for investing, trading, and on-chain finance

ISLAMABAD, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Binance today introduced U.S. equities trading, giving eligible users access to more than 7,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs. The launch reflects Binance’s belief that financial inclusion grows meaningfully when access to opportunities becomes simpler and more integrated. Binance will also soon introduce tokenized U.S. stocks, marking another step in its vision of a multi-asset financial super app.

“We have set out to reach the next 3 billion users, and to do that, we need to make it simpler for users to access opportunities across asset classes, diversify their portfolios, and move more easily between traditional investing and on-chain finance,” said Yi He, co-founder and co-CEO of Binance. “That is what a multi-asset financial super app should help people do.”

Enabled through Binance’s ADGM broker-dealer, Nest Trading Limited, the new offering expands Binance’s multi-asset platform by bringing U.S. equities trading and a path to tokenization into a unified user experience. By reducing friction around how users access and hold major traditional assets, Binance is building on an approach already proven in products like perpetual futures.

Eligible users will be able to trade U.S. equities with zero commission, purchase fractional shares starting at just $5, and have direct ownership of the equities held by a U.S.-regulated clearing broker, including eligibility for applicable dividends and corporate actions. Select equities will also be available for 24/5 trading. Purchases will primarily be made using USDC, with support for BNB, USDT, USD1, and $U, and sale proceeds will be received in USDC. Fully Paid Securities Lending (FPSL) will be available, allowing eligible users to earn passive income by lending their stock holdings.

In the coming weeks and subject to regulatory approvals, Binance will also introduce bStocks, tokenized securities representing select U.S. stocks and ETFs, issued by BTECH Holdings Ltd, a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) registered in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). Once launched, bStocks tokenized securities will be available for trading on Binance Exchange.

As the largest digital assets exchange by trading volume and users, Binance will offer a native bridge from traditional stock ownership to programmable, always-on tokenized assets at a global scale that few others can match. This unlocks mobility and utility for real-world equities within and beyond the Binance ecosystem, enabling continuous on-chain access and potential DeFi applications, from lending to liquidity provision.

“Tokenization has the potential to reshape financial markets by giving users greater control, more flexibility, and ultimately more financial freedom,” said Richard Teng, co-CEO of Binance. “We see a significant opportunity to make financial assets more accessible, more useful, and more connected across traditional and digital markets.”

As the pharmaceutical supply chain advances, InfiniTrak will continue setting the standard for integrated DSCSA technology”.

HoneyNaps Receives U.S. FDA 510(k) Clearance for SOMNUM V3.0 for AI-Based Sleep-Disordered Breathing Analysis

Published

July 16, 2026

– FDA 510(k) Clearance (K253390) Validates AI-Based Classification of OSA, CSA, and MSA
– Subtype-Specific Respiratory Event Analysis Improves Diagnostic Precision and Supports Next-Generation Digital Biomarker Development
– Advanced AI Analysis Using Multi-Channel Physiological Signals, with Additional FDA 510(k) Clearances Planned for Future Releases

BOSTON, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HoneyNaps, an AI-based sleep medicine company, today announced that SOMNUM V3.0, its AI diagnosis software for polysomnography (PSG) analysis, has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance under clearance number K253390.

SOMNUM is clinical decision support software designed to assist medical professionals in analyzing PSG data, including sleep staging and respiratory event detection. HoneyNaps previously received FDA clearance for SOMNUM V1.1.2, and the latest clearance expands the software’s capabilities for automated analysis of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).

SOMNUM V3.0 automatically detects apnea and hypopnea events and classifies apnea into Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), Central Sleep Apnea (CSA), and Mixed Sleep Apnea (MSA) using AI algorithms. Compared with conventional approaches that primarily assess SDB using composite indices, the software provides event-level classification intended to support more detailed clinical scoring.

According to validation results submitted as part of the FDA clearance process, the algorithms achieved Overall Percent Agreement (OPA) of more than 97% across respiratory event categories, supporting the software’s performance in automated event detection and classification.

By analyzing subtle physiological patterns from multi-channel biosignals, SOMNUM V3.0 is designed to distinguish different apnea subtypes that may be challenging to differentiate through manual scoring alone. HoneyNaps believes this capability may support more accurate assessment of sleep-disordered breathing severity and assist clinicians in treatment planning.

The company is also developing next-generation AI technologies and digital biomarkers, including Hypoxic Burden (HB), Arousal Burden (AB), and Ventilatory Burden (VB), to enable more comprehensive evaluation of disease severity and health risks associated with sleep apnea. HoneyNaps plans to pursue additional FDA 510(k) clearances for future SOMNUM versions incorporating these capabilities.

Sean Ha (Tae Kyoung Ha), President of HoneyNaps USA, stated, “The FDA 510(k) clearance for SOMNUM V3.0 represents regulatory validation of our AI algorithm’s clinical performance in automatically detecting and differentiating OSA, CSA, and MSA. We remain focused on advancing AI-driven sleep diagnostics through continued innovation in automated analysis and next-generation digital biomarkers.”
