Why Binance Chooses These Six Targets The six targets chosen by Binance almost encompass several of the hottest investment themes in the current global capital market. From the list, these six targets belong to vastly different sectors. They include pharmaceutical giants with market capitalizations exceeding one trillion US dollars, established technology companies that were once glorious but are now transforming for survival, growth stocks representing future communication technologies, and even prospects related to the space economy. This section details each target and outlines Binance's selection logic. 1. Eli Lilly (LLY) - Pharmaceutical Giant Eli Lilly (stock code: LLY), founded in 1876 and headquartered in Indiana, USA, is a globally renowned innovative pharmaceutical giant. With its breakthrough GLP-1 drugs in diabetes and obesity, it has become one of the world's most valuable pharmaceutical companies. Its operations span more than 100 countries and regions worldwide, employing over 40,000 people globally. In February of this year, Eli Lilly released its 2025 full-year financial report: revenue reached $65.179 billion, a year-on-year increase of 44.7%; net profit reached $20.64 billion, a year-on-year increase of 94.9%. At the same time, Eli Lilly disclosed its 2026 full-year performance guidance, expecting full-year revenue to be between $80 billion and $83 billion. Eli Lilly's 2025 performance exceeded market expectations, attributed to the strong performance of its telposide series of products. Specifically, the blood sugar-lowering version of telpotetamide achieved annual sales of $22.965 billion, a year-on-year increase of 99%; the weight-loss version of telpotetamide achieved annual revenue of $13.542 billion, a year-on-year increase of 175%. It is estimated that telpotetamide will contribute a total of $36.5 billion in revenue to Eli Lilly by 2025. As of press time, Eli Lilly's stock price was $1105.00, currently at its all-time high. ### 2\. Novo Nordisk (NVO) - Pharmaceutical Giant Novo Nordisk (NVO) is a Danish multinational biopharmaceutical company founded in 1923 and headquartered in Copenhagen. It focuses on metabolic diseases, primarily developing, manufacturing, and marketing innovative drugs for diabetes, obesity, rare blood disorders, and endocrine disorders. It is a global industry giant in GLP-1 therapy and modern insulin. Novo Nordisk's business is mainly divided into two segments: "Diabetes and Obesity Care" and "Biopharmaceuticals." Its landmark drugs have profoundly changed the global landscape of chronic disease treatment. Novo Nordisk's business is mainly divided into two segments: "Diabetes and Obesity Care" and "Biopharmaceuticals." Its landmark drugs have profoundly changed the global landscape of chronic disease treatment. Novo Nordisk's obesity and diabetes treatment portfolio focuses on semaglutide-related products: it boasts several globally influential blockbuster drugs, including Ozempic (semaglutide injection), Wegovy (a weight-loss version of semaglutide), and Rybelsus (oral semaglutide). In February 2026, Novo Nordisk released its 2025 financial report. Data shows that Novo Nordisk's annual revenue reached 309.064 billion Danish kroner (approximately US$48.9 billion), with semaglutide, as its "flagship product," contributing US$36.1 billion in sales, representing a year-on-year increase of over 10%. As of press time, Novo Nordisk's stock price was US$45.58, down from its previous peak of nearly US$150. ### 3\. BlackBerry (BBX) - Communications, IoT BlackBerry (stock code: BB), formerly known as Research In Motion (RIM), was founded in 1984. It is a Canadian-based cybersecurity and enterprise software company. Once known globally for its full-keyboard smartphones, BlackBerry has now fully transformed into a B2B technology company, focusing on providing end-to-end secure communications, IoT solutions, and AI-driven cybersecurity software. ### 3\. BlackBerry (BBX) - Communications, IoT BlackBerry (stock code: BB), formerly known as Research In Motion (RIM), is a Canadian-based cybersecurity and enterprise software company headquartered in Canada. BlackBerry's current business primarily consists of two core divisions: Internet of Things (IoT) and Embedded Systems (BlackBerry Technology Solutions) QNX Operating System: BlackBerry's real-time operating system (RTOS), widely used in the digital cockpits and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) of tens of millions of vehicles worldwide due to its extremely high security and stability, making it a key technology partner for major automakers. Other IoT Technologies: Including Certicom encryption technology and other embedded wireless communication solutions. Cybersecurity and Enterprise Software Endpoint Security and Management: Providing security software based on artificial intelligence and machine learning to prevent cyber threats. Its products, such as BlackBerry UEM (Unified Endpoint Management), can securely manage employees' mobile phones, computers, and IoT devices within an enterprise. Government-Grade Encrypted Communications: Providing protected data privacy and document security solutions for highly regulated industries such as defense, government, and financial institutions. BlackBerry's revenue for each quarter of fiscal year 2025 remained largely between $130 million and $150 million, with core software contributing about half of the revenue. Overall, the company demonstrated strong resilience and growth momentum. While BlackBerry has lost its luster in the consumer electronics era, it has found a new position in the new industry cycle. As of press time, BlackBerry's stock price was $9, having previously approached $150. Although BlackBerry's stock price has lost its former glory, it was once a star stock in the US stock market, attracting considerable attention from retail investors. ### 4\. Nokia (NOK) - Communications Nokia (stock code: NOK) is a B2B multinational corporation specializing in communications network equipment and technology. Having experienced a legendary journey from traditional paper and rubber manufacturing to consumer mobile phones, its core business has now fully transformed to provide mobile and fixed network infrastructure, cloud computing solutions, and cutting-edge technology research and development and patent licensing. ...\> Nokia currently focuses primarily on providing reliable critical network infrastructure, specifically divided into four core business groups: Mobile Networks: Providing base stations, hardware, and services for public and private wireless networks, and a major driver of 5G/6G technology globally. Network Infrastructure: Providing core infrastructure covering fixed networks (fiber broadband), IP routing, and optical transmission networks. Cloud and Network Services: Building secure cloud networks and communication solutions based on Software as a Service (SaaS). Nokia Technologies: Responsible for the company's technology licensing and R&D, possessing an industry-leading portfolio of communication patents. In 2025, Nokia achieved net sales of €19.889 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 3%. Affected by its business mix, Nokia's full-year operating profit was €885 million, a 55% decrease year-on-year; comparable operating profit was €2.024 billion, a 22% decrease year-on-year, and net profit attributable to shareholders was €651 million, a 49.02% decrease year-on-year. As of press time, Nokia's stock price was $12.49, having peaked at over $60. Similar to BlackBerry, Nokia carries the sentimental value of a generation. As one of the world's leading telecommunications equipment suppliers, Nokia still holds a large number of core patents and industry resources. With the continued growth of data traffic in the AI ​​era, the importance of network infrastructure will be further enhanced. ### 5.iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF (EWT) - Tracking the Overall Performance of Taiwan Stocks (AI) The iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF (ticker symbol: EWT) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) issued by BlackRock, designed to track the overall performance of the Taiwan stock market. It allows global investors to easily invest in large and mid-sized listed companies in Taiwan, just like buying and selling ordinary stocks. The iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF (ticker symbol: EWT) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) issued by BlackRock, designed to track the overall performance of the Taiwan stock market. This fund is highly concentrated in Taiwanese technology and hardware manufacturing giants, with its top holdings including TSMC, Hon Hai Precision (Foxconn), MediaTek, Quanta Computer, and Delta Electronics. The iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF (EWT), since its listing in 2000, has generally exhibited a long-term upward trend with fluctuations, deeply tied to the global semiconductor and technology industry cycle, US dollar liquidity, and the external macroeconomic environment. Its price movement is almost a barometer of the overall prosperity of the Taiwan stock market (TWSE) and the technology cycle (such as the AI ​​wave). International investors often use this ETF to increase their exposure to emerging Asian markets or specific technology supply chains. As of press time, EWT was trading at $102.78, near its all-time high. ### 6\. AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) - Satellite Communications AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) is an American low-Earth orbit satellite communications company dedicated to building a broadband network for space operations. Its core technology allows unmodified, standard smartphones to directly connect to satellite signals, filling coverage gaps left by ground base stations and enabling seamless global voice and data communication. It has already received strategic investments and technological alliances from technology and telecommunications giants such as Google, AT&T, Verizon, and Vodafone. If this technology matures, it will reshape the traditional communications industry. Currently, many areas worldwide still lack stable communication coverage, and satellite direct connection technology is considered to have enormous commercial potential. Therefore, ATS is seen by many investors as a "key player in the space economy era." AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) achieved full-year revenue of $70.9 million in 2025, officially exiting its period of no revenue. Fourth-quarter revenue was $54.3 million, exceeding Wall Street's expectation of $42 million; full-year earnings per share (EPS) were a loss of $0.26. As of press time, ATS stock was trading at $113.41, near its historical peak. As can be seen from the above introduction, the six targets selected by Binance are all assets in popular sectors. Weight loss drugs, IoT, AI, and communications are all investment themes that are currently receiving a lot of attention in the global capital market. When the targets cover these most popular sectors, market attention and trading volume will naturally follow. Moreover, these companies are basically well-known, and some of them are even very passionate. Investors mostly recognize their business models and investment logic, and with higher product acceptance, it is easier to attract funds. ## III. What is the significance of Binance's move? ## For Binance itself, this is a product expansion, but from a broader perspective, it signals a further integration between the crypto market and traditional finance. First, this represents a shift in the core business of crypto exchanges from digital assets to traditional financial assets. Integrating traditional financial assets into the crypto ecosystem not only meets the diverse trading needs of traders but also expands market space. Exchanges themselves are transforming from crypto trading platforms into super trading markets. Second, the dream of an on-chain Wall Street is becoming a reality. The official launch of the BTC ETF in 2024 can be seen as the beginning of this dream, with real-world assets gradually being mapped onto the blockchain world. Traditional asset management giants such as BlackRock and Fidelity are entering the crypto arena, and the on-chaining of traditional financial products such as stocks, funds, and bonds has become an unstoppable trend. Binance's new product is a mapping of traditional asset prices in the crypto market, helping investors in the crypto space to participate in traditional asset trading. Finally, the 24/7 trading model may impact the traditional financial market. Traditional financial markets have always been limited by trading hours. Although Nasdaq and the NYSE have discussed further extending trading hours, these plans have not yet materialized. One of the biggest features of the crypto market is its 24/7 trading capability, allowing global capital to enter and exit the market at any time. Binance's perpetual contracts for US stocks allow traders to trade related assets even after traditional stock markets close, signifying an upgrade in the efficiency of US stock trading, especially in reflecting prices directly in trading during major events without waiting for the market to open. The 24/7 trading of US stock contracts in the crypto market is posing a challenge to traditional securities trading models. ### Summary Binance's addition of six trading assets is enough to prompt reflection in traditional financial markets. Crypto exchanges are moving beyond the era of solely trading crypto assets; the global asset digitization process is accelerating; a 24-hour global trading system is gradually taking shape; traditional finance and the crypto market are facing unprecedented opportunities for integration… Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, BlackBerry, Nokia, EWT, and AASTS have already knocked on the door of on-chain Wall Street. Is the new era of on-chain global asset trading far away? ### Related Stocks - [BB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BB.US.md) - [RKLB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RKLB.US.md) - [LLY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LLY.US.md) - [ASTS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ASTS.US.md) - [NOK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NOK.US.md) - [NVO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVO.US.md) - [SATS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SATS.US.md) - [IBB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IBB.US.md) - [BIB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BIB.US.md) - [IBBQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IBBQ.US.md) - [LABD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LABD.US.md) - [LLYX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LLYX.US.md) - [VHT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/VHT.US.md) - [EWT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EWT.US.md) - [LABU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LABU.US.md) - [ASTX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ASTX.US.md) - [ELIL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ELIL.US.md) - [XBI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XBI.US.md) - [XAR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XAR.US.md) - [ARKX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARKX.US.md) - [LLYZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LLYZ.US.md) - [IHE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IHE.US.md) - [SBIO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SBIO.US.md) - [ELIS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ELIS.US.md) - [ITA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ITA.US.md) - [ARKG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARKG.US.md) - [NVOX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVOX.US.md) - [BBH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BBH.US.md) - [PBE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PBE.US.md) - [PPA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PPA.US.md) - [IXJ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IXJ.US.md) - [XLV.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XLV.US.md) - [IGV.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IGV.US.md) - [FBT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBT.US.md) - [XSW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XSW.US.md) - [IXN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IXN.US.md) - [USDTHKD.VAHK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/USDTHKD.VAHK.md) - [USDTUSD.VAHK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/USDTUSD.VAHK.md) - [NOA3.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NOA3.DE.md) ## Related News & Research - [Novo's Wegovy Pill Isn't Just Beating Expectations -- It's Obliterating Them.
