Binance.US Restores US Dollar Services After Nearly Two-Year Hiatus

The crypto exchange reintroduces USD deposits and withdrawals, signaling recovery following regulatory challenges and banking disruptions.

  • Binance.US has resumed USD deposits and withdrawals, offering zero fees for bank transfers and enabling trading of over 160 cryptocurrencies.
  • The platform had operated as a crypto-only exchange since June 2023 after losing access to banking partners due to regulatory pressures.
  • The SEC's aggressive stance under former Chair Gary Gensler significantly impacted Binance.US, leading to a 75% revenue drop and staff reductions.
  • A shift in the regulatory environment, including the SEC's softened approach under Acting Chair Mark Uyeda, has facilitated the platform's recovery.
  • Binance.US has not disclosed its new banking partner but plans to expand partnerships in the coming months to regain market share.
