Background on USD Suspension

The resumption follows a lawsuit filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2023, alleging that Binance.US offered securities without proper authorization. This led to a suspension of fiat transactions and revocation of money transmitter licenses in several states.

After navigating regulatory challenges, Binance.US is re-entering the market with fiat capabilities, enabling local currency trading for customers.
