Since June 9th, USD deposits have been suspended and Binance.US users have not been able to deposit and buy cryptocurrencies. This means that only users who already had USD on the platform can buy the discounted Bitcoin and Ethereum. This effectively means a majority of users will not enjoy the unique opportunity to make a quick profit.
On top of suspended USD deposits, users are further concerned about an upcoming USD withdrawal suspension. According to some reports, the last day for USD withdrawals is July 20th.
The discount on Bitcoin prices is suspected to be a result of novice traders who are unable to withdraw cryptocurrencies and prefer to sell and withdraw USD.
This event come a few weeks after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Binance.US, its parent company Binance Holdings Ltd and co-founder Changpeng Zhao for violating federal securities laws. Despite the exchange denying the allegations and confirming its plans to fend off the SEC, the case has since cast a shadow on the future of the platform.
Surprisingly, Bitcoin has continued to demonstrate great resilience. At the time of press, Bitcoin is exchanging for $30,100 after a less than 1 percent drop in the last 24 hours. However, trading volume has increased by 15 percent, signaling an imminent price reaction.
