Region wording corrected: dropped the unsourced US/Canada/UK/Australia list
Many pages used to say the service is "typically unavailable in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia". Checked against section 1(e) of the Binance Securities Trading Terms (the version effective 2026-09-10), that list has no source: the terms say securities trading may be restricted in some jurisdictions, use the words "including but not limited to", and point to a separate List of Prohibited Countries. The site now says the same thing everywhere: the service is only for non-US users, US users are excluded, and whether other regions are open follows the terms and your verified account.

Restored passages that were dropped during publishing
The opening of the zero-commission guide, the zero-commission footnote in several articles, and the first point of the summary list in the complete guide had been dropped during publishing, which left sentences that did not connect. They are back, and the other articles were checked one by one.

Fee threshold set back to $350 and about $0.35 per order
The change on July 3 to a $340 threshold and about $0.34 per order was a misreading. Re-checked in a browser against the Binance Academy page on 2026-09-06: about $0.35 on orders up to $350, about 0.1% above $350. All copy and the calculators use these figures again.

The 50%-off platform-fee promotion expired; fee copy is back to base rates
The promotion logged on 2026-07-03 was officially set to run through 2026-08-31. That date has passed, so the "currently 50% off" wording in the site copy had become stale, and it was changed back to base rates everywhere (at the time written as about $0.34 up to $340; after the September 6 re-check, about $0.35 up to $350, see the entry above). The on-site calculators already used base rates, so their numbers are unchanged. Whether a new promotion follows is not something we will guess at — check Binance current pages.

Changed the fee tier threshold to $340 (later found wrong) and logged the 50%-off promotion then running
At the time we changed the platform-fee tier threshold from $350 to $340: about $0.34 (fixed) per order up to $340, about 0.1% above. That turned out to be a misreading and was set back to $350 on 2026-09-06, see the entry above. We also added that Binance was then running a 50%-off platform-fee promotion through 2026-08-31, about $0.17 per small order and about 0.05% on larger ones during it; base rates resumed when it ended.

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 $0.35 (fixed) for orders up to $350, and about 0.1% above $350 (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.

Added a per-order platform-fee footnote to "zero commission"
Early copy just said "zero-commission US stocks for non-US users", which is easily read as completely free. After checking we added: zero commission means no traditional commission, but every order still has a platform fee (about $0.35 up to $350, about 0.1% above, per Binance current terms), and small orders especially need to factor it into cost. A * footnote is now applied consistently wherever this appears.

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.
