Binance weighs adding Hong Kong, Korean, Taiwanese and Brazilian stocks, says co-CEO Teng

The world's largest crypto exchange is exploring stock exposure beyond US equities as it builds toward an all-in-one trading platform Binance built its empire on Bitcoin and altcoins. Now it wants a piece of Samsung-and-chipmaker territory too. The exchange is considering giving users exposure to stocks from Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, and Brazil, co-CEO Richard Teng told Fortune at TOKEN2049 in Singapore. The idea is part of a broader push to turn the world’s largest crypto exchange into a platform where users can trade nearly everything. Teng framed the move as defensive as much as ambitious.
