Currently each Tesla share costs about $ 700, with the token format, users can buy the split shares.

“Stock tokens demonstrate how we can democratize value transfer in a more integrated way, reduce friction and accessibility costs, without compromising compliance or security”

Binance, CEO Changpeng Zhao.

The company has promised to expand the list of tradable tokenized stocks as demand increases. Users must undergo the KYC procedure, as the new product is not available to people in China, Turkey, the United States and some jurisdictions.

BNB fires to new highs

Binance Coin (BNB), the broker’s native cryptocurrency, became the third digital currency in the world to reach a market capitalization of $ 50 billion earlier this month after the listing of tesla shares.

The currency, which was already on the rise, shot up more than 25% on Monday morning (12) and was even traded for $ 600.

In addition to Binance having announced Tesla’s stock listing, the company’s CEO has announced a new plan for the coin-burning program.

The firing event permanently destroys part of the tokens and serves to reduce the supply of BNB – this consequently makes the remaining tokens more valuable.

In the announcement, he stated that Binance will now burn BNB at a much faster rate.

Currently Binance’s BNB is the third most valuable cryptocurrency in the world, after Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Earlier this year, BNB was trading at around $ 37. Due to the recent rise in the currency’s price, whales began to move the digital currency in large quantities.
