In an unprecedented move, @BinanceUS, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges in America, has announced a suspension of USD deposits and potential fiat (USD) withdrawal pause, effective from June 13, 2023. The reason? The SEC’s “extremely aggressive and intimidating tactics” in what Binance.US calls an ideological campaign against the American digital asset industry.

Suspension of USD Deposits: Binance.US Takes a Stand

With an unwavering focus on customer protection, Binance.US issued a statement on Twitter to clear the air as they are taking proactive steps to ensure the safety of its users and platform.

They will temporarily transition to a crypto-only exchange, maintaining 1:1 reserves for all customer assets. While withdrawals may experience temporary delays due to high volumes and weekend bank closures, trading, staking, and crypto-related activities remain fully operational!

However, Binance.US firmly emphasizes its commitment to defend customers, themselves, and the industry against what they consider “meritless attacks” by the SEC. This battle is far from over! The exchange remains open to a productive compromise that paves the way for a thriving digital asset marketplace in America.
