Binance rebrands Funding Account to Stocks Account, starts migration on September 29
Summary
Binance is set to rebrand its Funding Account to "Stocks Account" and will begin migrating cryptocurrency assets to Spot Accounts starting September 29, 2026, a transition expected to conclude by January 2027. This change is part of Binance's strategy to expand its platform capabilities to include equities and stock options in addition to current crypto offerings. Users will no longer be able to make on-chain deposits into Funding Accounts after the migration begins, and will have access to a new "One-Click Migration" feature to proactively transfer their holdings, with any remaining balances automatically migrated in batches by the system.
