The news about Binance blocking US residents was shocking. But you can't blame them as US has strict laws about Cryptocurrency and transfer of money.
But they are not going to leave anyone behind, they are going to establish a separate trading platform that would work accordance to all US laws for providing service to all US residents. The platform would probably be called Binance US.

maybe this is a good way for the people of the USA who want to go back to trading at binance. but I doubt if binance only opens a special trade only for the USA people, will it disrupt the decreasing sales volume? explanation please

That is a good move to take for the binance team knowing that US residents are somehow restricted in other cryptocurrency trading or investment so binance is reaching out these people. Binance also knows that with the US residents having Binance would let Binance grow. But of course it also needs license to operate so Binance team nust secure a license first before they can start operating for the US residents.

I look forward to Binance offering a platform specifically for U.S. customers, since the options currently are somewhat limited. I registered to Kraken and perhaps will do so with Gemini soon. My main concern, besides the integrity of the platform, is how resilient it is to hacks. The unfortunate thing about Binance is it's proven itself to be resilient, so it's a bit annoying that U.S. regulators have made it go through these hoops. I am hoping there will be a seamless or near seamless transition.

swing!

Probably US citizen wouldn't have any access to most of the alts Binance was originally offering. Market is reacting negative over it although its uncertain that how US users were in Binance since. The separate trading platform would mostly like direct competitor to coinbase, still BNB is doing good simply because BNB has alot of incentives like ICO, discounts and variety of quality coins, i think binance.us wouldn't be a great alternative but lets see how things goes out

I believe part of this has to do with offering security tokens not registered with the SEC, and Binance's unwillingness to register as a national securities exchange. Bittrex and Poloniex have made similar moves. It's possible that most markets will still be available on the .US domain, minus a few dozen of the obvious securities.

And it could be because of SEC suing KIN https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2019-87. So Binance stay one step of the game by offering a separate trading for US residents only. It's a bold move, but at least they have dodge another bullet in doing that.

Yeap, this is definitely most likely. Unfortunately for the Americans, it looks like the coins/tokens that would be able to trade will be very limited. Binance Jersey is pretty much only limited to BTC/ETH/BNB/FIAT pairs. The US version is most likely to be the same.

1. binance is segregating USA from international customers the same way bittrex did with their international platform. the reason bittrex did so was to comply with the SEC by ceasing to offer securities to americans. as a result, USA customers on bittrex don't have access to most IEO offerings + a few dozen security token markets, but we still have access to hundreds and hundreds of altcoin markets.

The Bittrex move is what I had in mind when I first heard of the news about Binance US.

It's interesting to see what happens to the entire Binance volume after this. With limited trading pairs available to the US market, I expect a huge decline in volume but that remains to be seen.

Changpeng Zhao said it's going to be a fiat-crypto exchange. It'll probably be more like Binance.je than Binance.com, but hopefully I'm wrong and there will still be lots of available markets for US traders.

i don't think they can take that much of the market share if they open up a new "fiat" based bitcoin exchange targeting US only while there is a much bigger and better exchange called Coinbase exists which has most of the market in its control.

i see two possibilities here.

1. binance is segregating USA from international customers the same way bittrex did with their international platform. the reason bittrex did so was to comply with the SEC by ceasing to offer securities to americans. as a result, USA customers on bittrex don't have access to most IEO offerings + a few dozen security token markets, but we still have access to hundreds and hundreds of altcoin markets.

2. the binance jersey route. this doesn't make as much sense to me but is obviously possible. i don't see why binance would bow out of the USA market like that if bittrex and poloniex aren't going to.

I think this is good news for the people in America, I already saw people who wanted to move to Europe because of the strict rules for ico's and now Binance to.
I don't understand why they are so strict in the first place maybe they should handle their real problems first, like the gun laws, innocent people getting killed with guns probably every day, and the huge gap in income, their always increasing debt (still spending the most out of all countries on the military)

And now they cant even trade on Binance anymore,(Free Country Btw) for some people their Money is actually stuck on there and it will take some time to get it off Binance.
I imagine it's not a fun time for them!

Wow, that's an excellence move and a cunning one, they knew that the US is such a huge market and they don't want to lose this market, they want to maintain their status as the number one exchange in the market that can cater to everyone, great move for this exchange but with the regulation they are going to trade in a limited pairs.
