BinanceUS remains unaffected
The ban will not affect Binance US, a division within the firm that is supervised by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, (FinCEN), of the Treasury Department. The ban will not affect clients from non-U.S. who transfer money to and from bank accounts in dollars.

Federal regulators have issued a warning about the dangers of doing business with cryptocurrency companies following the failure of FTX. Web3 firms have had difficulty finding crypto-friendly partners in the past. The latest crypto crisis has made it even harder. Binance announced last month its banking partner Signature Bank would handle user transactions exceeding $100,000. The lender will also reduce its exposure to digital assets exchanges. The financial institution headquartered in New York City also announced that it plans to withdraw up to $10 billion from customers who have made deposits in cryptocurrency.
Binance’s native crypto-token BNB-mainly used to pay trading fees on the exchange-has not been affected by recent Binance news. It currently trades at $329.
