- Binance.US plans to restore USD services in early 2025, focusing on user requests and improving its product offerings despite past regulatory challenges.
- The exchange remains optimistic about growth and innovation in the crypto industry, aiming to strengthen its compliance and expand user accessibility.
Binance.US recently announced its plan to restore USD services in early 2025. This is a major operational change because fiat trading was suspended in June 2023. The change comes after a relatively long duration of limited banking options precipitated by civil charges by the SEC.
Norman Reed, the exchange’s interim CEO, emphasized the need for fiat services restoration, noting that this is the most demanded feature according to its users. Reed added that the freezing of dollar deposits and withdrawals in 2023 greatly hampered its functioning. Nevertheless, Binance.US offered support for 160 cryptocurrencies as well as staking for over 20 assets, outperforming its rivals in the number of products.
Restoring USD Services
According to Reed, USD services remain possible even today, and the platform plans to complete them by early 2025. This fits well with the company’s strategic plan to improve user experience and consolidate its position as the dominant player in the crypto trading market in the U.S.
Binance.US is still under attack from the SEC, which filed civil charges against the exchange in mid-2023. This regulatory action caused operational changes, shifting to exclusively crypto services and halting fiat operations. The exchange has since taken numerous depositions and also complied with many document requests as part of the legal process. According to Reed, there has been no sign of misconduct during the 17-month investigation.
Binance.US Challenges and Compliance
The leadership of the platform has spoken ill of the regulatory conditions that the firms have claimed to be aimed at denying crypto firms any access to banking. These allegations, labeled “Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” point to larger concerns regarding the position of crypto-related companies in the United States.
Binance.US has vowed to uphold all the laws that govern the market as well as provide all the necessary information. To support the company’s compliance with the rules and regulations, the company is seeking to develop an updated program with the intention of achieving a correlation with more recent regulations whereby consumers are protected.
Binance.US also has plans to improve its product offerings. There is currently the formulation of strategies to open up collaborations to grow custody services and create other wallets. It also continues to pledge low trading fees and high payouts, including 0% fee trading for Bitcoin on the BTC/USDC pair—a feature unmatched by other major U.S. platforms.
As 2025 approaches, Binance.US sees more plans in its progression as well as innovations in the crypto sector. The management expressed optimism as they pointed out that Digital assets still stand the chance of becoming fully integrated components of the financial system. As the regulatory environment becomes more transparent, Binance.US aims to act as a pillar of this process, empowering users with enhanced accessibility and choice.
