Binance.US which is the United States branch of the major cryptocurrency exchange Binance, has today announced that the opening of accounts registration which is scheduled for Wednesday, will not include the states of New York, Florida and 10 others.
“Launching tomorrow, Binance.US is a fast and secure digital asset marketplace, delivering the world’s leading digital asset trading technology, speed, and experience to everyday users in America,” the post said.
According to an official blog post which went viral in the Bitcoin and altcoin news published on September 17, the exchange will start the registration at 8am ET on September 18 in most of the US states. The list will exclude the states of Alabama, Alaska, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Vermont and Washington.
“Although it is upsetting that we cannot offer Binance.US in [these] states […] at this time, please rest assured that this is just the beginning, and it is our mission to bring access to those of you in these states many of us call home,” the post continues.
Once the registration process starts, Binance.US will start accepting inbound transfers for Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), Tether (USDT) and USD “upon appropriate account verification” as the exchange revealed. According to the announcement, there would be no trading fees until November 1st.
A popular question in the coming altcoin news are the trading fees. As Binance.US stated in the post, they are an “independent entity” which means that any of the digital assets held by other trading venues or custody solutions “will not automatically transfer to Binance.US.” The fees for personal accounts are 0.10% per trade (flat) which means that if you buy $100 of BTC, the fee will be $0.10.
Binance.US also noted that the exchange will be separate from Binance.com since the former is a separate company operated by BAM Trading Services. Currently, US users and their digital assets will also be stored in Binance.US wallets.
As many best cryptocurrency news sites reported on September 11, the 24-hour trading volume of major cryptocurrency exchange Binance and its futures markets has exceeded $150 million, all of which was denominated in USDT.
