Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced it will no longer support the trading of stock tokens.

Today, we are announcing that we will be winding down support for stock tokens on Binance.com to shift our commercial focus to other product offerings.
The exchange pointed out that the suspension is “effective immediately,” with stock tokens already unavailable for purchase on Binance.com.
