Binance's US stock trading service adopts the "Introduction Broker + Clearing Broker" model, with Nest Trading responsible for order routing and Alpaca handling trade execution, clearing, settlement, and asset custody.

1 hours ago

As of June 1st, Binance released an official statement noting that when users trade stocks on its platform, their orders are referred by Introducing Broker (IB) Nest Trading Limited and sent to its clearing broker partner Alpaca Securities LLC for execution. As outlined in the disclosure, Nest Trading Limited serves as the IB in Binance’s stock brokerage system, handling client onboarding, order routing, and securities business coordination. It does not hold client securities assets directly, nor is it responsible for trade execution or clearing and settlement—acting instead as a bridge between the front-end platform and licensed securities firms. Its core duties are limited to client services, order referrals, and brokerage coordination. By contrast, partner Alpaca Securities LLC is a licensed U.S. securities broker responsible for core functions including stock trade execution, clearing, settlement, and asset custody. The statement adds that user-held securities assets, dividend payments, and corporate actions like stock splits and rights offerings are all managed through Alpaca’s system; Binance does not directly handle or custody user securities. From a business architecture standpoint, Binance focuses on delivering trading access and a smooth user experience, Nest Trading manages brokerage referrals, while licensed broker Alpaca handles actual stock trading and asset custody.

Analyst: Bitcoin at Key Support Level, Breakdown Could Lead to a Dip to $65,000

On June 1st, Michael van de Poppe, founder of MN Trading Capital, noted Bitcoin is currently trading in a pivotal price range. If the cryptocurrency fails to hold support near $70,000, it could slide below $65,000. However, he emphasized that the market structure of this cycle is drastically different from the downturn seen back in February, so he doesn’t anticipate Bitcoin hitting a new low. Van de Poppe further identified the $71,000 region as the most critical support level right now. If this level holds, Bitcoin is expected to push past the $76,600 resistance and spark a new bullish phase for the broader crypto market. He added that once this key range is broken, “a new all-time high is likely on the horizon,” with altcoins also poised for strong performance. Separately, economist Timothy Peterson predicts Bitcoin will see slow, steady gains throughout this summer, peaking around late July—but its overall performance will remain relatively lackluster.
