The company hopes that by doing so, it could enlarge its influence on the world’s largest economy and become one of its leading cryptocurrency trading locations. Until now, in the U.S. we could find only Coinbase and Gemini that are both still very much recognizable options available to U.S. traders.
In an announcement, Binance.US said it would have 13 inaugural trading pairs across the cryptocurrencies of Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin cash (BCH), Binance Coin (BNB),Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), XRP, and the Tether stablecoin (USDT).

In their separate announcement, the exchange said support for the second wave of projects would be rolled out on September 25, just one day after launch. The list of the coins to be added includes Basic Attention Token (BAT), Cardano (ADA), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Stellar (XLM), and 0x (ZRX), and they are now able to be deposited onto the platform.
The company’s disclosure of BNB support when it opened deposits last week, came as a surprise to some users, because there were certain speculations in some circles that Binance might avoid doing so, at least at the start (before CZ confirmed that BNB would be supported), over the possibility the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) might consider BNB a security.

“Binance.US is tailor-made for Americans at every step of its development. We are thrilled to establish Binance.US as a distinctive marketplace with roots in America, as we aim to educate and foster the American community to adopt crypto with purpose.”

“We look forward to providing more security and accessibility to digital currencies and the blockchain projects behind them for the American Binance community.”

Also, as part of its US launch, Binance partnered with BAM Trading Services, a little-known Californian-registered firm. to “serve the U.S. market in full regulatory compliance” as it was noted by Binance CEO CZ last month.
