Semicon Bull 3X ETF Tokenized bStocks (SOXLB) is a tokenized bStocks asset that provides economic exposure to the Semicon Bull 3X ETF through blockchain-based infrastructure. The token is designed to reflect the price movements and applicable dividends of the corresponding underlying security, while providing eligible holders with a right to convert the token into the underlying share on Binance.com, subject to applicable laws and platform requirements.
Overview
SOXLB connects exchange-traded fund exposure with digital-asset infrastructure. Each token is fully backed by the corresponding underlying equity maintained by the issuer at a U.S.-regulated broker-dealer. This structure is intended to link the tokenized asset with the conventional security held in custody.
The underlying Semicon Bull 3X ETF is designed to provide leveraged exposure to the semiconductor sector. As a leveraged ETF, its investment characteristics differ from those of a conventional unleveraged fund, particularly because its objective is generally measured over a specific daily period. SOXLB therefore provides exposure to an underlying security whose returns and risks can differ materially from the longer-term performance of the semiconductor sector itself.
Underlying Security and Backing
According to the bStocks structure, each SOXLB token is fully backed by the corresponding underlying security held by the issuer at a U.S.-regulated broker-dealer. The token is designed to provide economic exposure to the underlying ETF while the conventional security remains maintained through traditional brokerage infrastructure.
The structure is intended to support a 1:1 relationship between the token and the underlying share for eligible conversions. Holding SOXLB should therefore be distinguished from directly holding the ETF through a conventional securities account.

- 24/7 trading: SOXLB is designed to be tradeable around the clock through supported digital-asset infrastructure.
Tokenized ETF Structure
Tokenized bStocks represent traditional financial securities or their economic exposure through blockchain-based assets. SOXLB applies this model to a leveraged semiconductor ETF, allowing its economic exposure to be represented through a digital token.
The tokenized structure can provide access through digital-asset infrastructure outside conventional stock-market trading hours. However, the characteristics of the underlying leveraged ETF remain important when evaluating SOXLB, including its daily leverage objective and the potential effects of compounding over multiple trading periods.
Trading and Conversion
SOXLB is designed to be tradeable 24/7 through supported digital-asset infrastructure. Actual trading availability depends on the relevant platform, liquidity, jurisdiction, and applicable restrictions.
The token also provides a right to convert into the underlying security on Binance.com at a 1:1 ratio, subject to applicable laws, platform requirements, and holder eligibility. Conversion rights and continuous token trading are separate features and should not be assumed to provide unrestricted access to the underlying security in every jurisdiction.
Risks and Considerations
SOXLB carries the risks of both tokenized securities and its leveraged ETF underlying. A 3x leveraged ETF is generally intended to magnify the daily performance of its benchmark, which can produce substantial gains or losses and may result in longer-term returns that differ significantly from three times the cumulative performance of the underlying benchmark.
Additional risks include market volatility, liquidity, blockchain and smart contract risks, custody arrangements, wallet security, regulatory restrictions, and the terms governing conversion. Users should review the current bStocks and Binance.com documentation and understand the characteristics of the underlying leveraged ETF before acquiring, trading, or seeking conversion of SOXLB.
