Corrected the fee tier threshold to $340 and added the current 50%-off promotion
After re-checking the current official terms we corrected the platform-fee tier threshold to $340 (not the $350 written earlier): about $0.34 (fixed) per order up to $340, about 0.1% above $340. We also added that Binance is running a 50%-off platform-fee promotion through 2026-08-31 — during it, about $0.17 up to $340 and about 0.05% above; base rates resume when it ends. All copy and the calculators are updated; go by Binance current terms.

Platform fee changed from "just $0.35" to two tiers
Early on we wrote the non-US platform fee for buying US stocks as only "about $0.35 per order", which is wrong for larger orders. After cross-checking we settled on two tiers: about $0.34 (fixed) for orders up to $340, and about 0.1% above $340 (for example about $1 on a $1,000 order, about $10 on a $10,000 order), plus possible ADR fees and dividend withholding tax. All copy and the calculators now use the two-tier figure; go by Binance current terms.

Added the tested note that the US-stocks entry is hidden on the Simplified-Chinese interface
Early guides didn't mention it: the Binance US-stocks feature currently shows only under the Traditional Chinese interface, and the entry is hidden on the Simplified-Chinese one. After confirming, we added a note to the relevant how-to pages — you have to switch the app display language to Traditional Chinese for the "traditional finance / stocks" module to appear. Go by Binance current terms.

bStocks changed from "live" to "not the same as shares, and terms and availability may change"
The first draft described tokenized bStocks as a done deal. On review we corrected it: bStocks are tokenized securities, not on-register shares, and their terms, availability, and regulatory treatment may change. The whole site now defers to the current official wording plus a verification date, and stresses issuer/counterparty, liquidity, and regulatory risks.
