The United States has many crypto users and owners within its borders. That means that it is a valuable market for Binance. That is why the company was willing to take the steps and suffer the expense of creating a version of the exchange just for one country.
We couldn’t find any information from Binance.US about its security measures and protections, and the company did not respond to a request for comment.
