# What is BBX

### **One stablecoin account, global markets.**

BBX is a multi-asset trading platform funded with stablecoins, connecting traditional securities markets with onchain finance. BBX is the name of the platform, not a cryptocurrency or token. BBX has not issued a platform token or governance token.

Through a BBX Stock Account, users can trade real US and Hong Kong stocks. US stock orders are executed by FINRA-registered partner broker-dealers, with clearing and custody services provided by partner clearing firms. Hong Kong stock trades are executed through partner securities firms licensed by Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC).&#x20;

On BBX DEX, users can trade tokenized stocks and multi-asset perpetual contracts onchain, 24/7.

Global assets have long been spread across different account systems, trading platforms and market hours. Investors often need to switch between brokers, exchanges, onchain wallets and separate settlement systems.

BBX aims to bring these fragmented experiences together.

### Products and Trading

#### BBX Stock Account: Real US and Hong Kong Stocks

A BBX Stock Account provides access to real US and Hong Kong stocks. After buying shares, users hold a stock position recorded through the applicable securities-account structure.

US orders are executed through FINRA-registered partner broker-dealers. Partner clearing firms handle clearing and custody. Hong Kong trades are executed through partner securities firms licensed by Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC).

Stablecoins are used to fund the account. Funds are transferred or converted as required before stock trading. Securities execution, clearing, and custody follow the rules of the relevant market.

#### BBX Tokenized Stocks: Stock-Related Onchain Tokens

Users can trade tokenized stocks on the BBX DEX spot market. What they receive is a stock-related onchain token.

Tokenized stocks differ from real shares held through a Stock Account. Their issuance structure, underlying-asset custody, and holder rights depend on the relevant product documents and rules. Holding a token does not automatically confer ordinary shareholder voting or dividend rights.

#### BBX Perps: Exposure to Multiple Asset Classes

BBX DEX offers perpetual contracts referencing stocks, ETFs, indices, commodities, and crypto assets. USDT is used for margin and settlement.

Users take long or short positions to gain price exposure. They hold a derivative position rather than the underlying stock, ETF, or commodity. Perpetual trading involves margin requirements, funding payments, and liquidation risk. Check the relevant market page for current trading parameters.

### How One Account Connects Different Markets

“One stablecoin account, global markets” describes a unified login, a common stablecoin funding entry point, and an integrated trading experience. Separate funding, stock, and perpetuals accounts remain within the platform to support each product’s trading and settlement requirements.

### Trading Hours and Settlement

BBX DEX supports 24/7 trading. Trading hours for real US and Hong Kong stocks depend on the relevant securities market, partner infrastructure, and sessions supported by the platform.

Stablecoins are used for deposits. Users complete the required transfers or conversions before trading stocks. Securities execution, clearing, and custody continue to take place through partner securities infrastructure under the relevant market rules.
