The announcement adds, that Binance will monitor market demand and look to provide a channel to more Stock Tokens issued and sold by CM-E. Trading of Stock Tokens will follow traditional exchange hours and is not available for residents in Mainland China, Turkey, the United States and other restricted jurisdictions as finally determined by CM-E.
