Binance.US, the US-based affiliate of global cryptocurrency exchange Binance, has resumed US dollar deposits and withdrawals following nearly 18 months of restrictions, citing regulatory clarity.
US dollar services are back on Binance.US for US customers, including deposits and withdrawals via bank transfer (ACH), according to a Feb. 19 announcement from Binance.
“This means you can deposit and withdraw USD by linking a bank account, buy crypto via bank transfer (ACH), and enjoy trading on USD pairs,” the company stated.
The services will “gradually roll out to all eligible customers in the coming days,” the announcement added.
