Binance.US, the American counterpart of global cryptocurrency exchange Binance, is facing a series of challenges that have led to a significant decline in its trading operations. According to independent research firm CCData, the monthly trading volume of Binance.US has plummeted by 98% from January to August 2022, with further declines expected in September. These obstacles have raised concerns about the platform’s viability in the market.
One key factor contributing to the decline in trading volume is the regulatory scrutiny faced by Binance.US. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission has leveled allegations against Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao for regulatory infractions, while the US Securities and Exchange Commission has initiated legal action against Binance.US, Zhao, and the primary exchange Binance for various infractions. This legal battle has resulted in a loss of investor confidence and a suspension of trading for over 100 token pairs.
Internally, Binance.US has also experienced challenges, including the resignation of CEO Brian Shorder and other key executives. The SEC has noted that these personnel departures are accelerating, highlighting the need for a swift investigation into the platform’s problems. In a setback for the SEC, a federal magistrate judge recently denied them immediate access to Binance.US’s software, further complicating the ongoing legal proceedings.
Despite these difficulties, Binance.US still maintains a daily trading volume of around $10.5 million, according to data from CoinGecko. However, this figure pales in comparison to the daily trading volume of Coinbase Global Inc., the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US, which reports trading volumes of $948 million.
