From September 12 2019, users in the United States can no longer trade cryptocurrencies on the Binance exchange.
Binance commands a huge share of the crypto exchange market, boasting nearly 8 million users and counting. The site is so popular, it’s previously had to temporarily halt its acceptance of new users so it could update its infrastructure to accommodate the surge in traffic. Because the site’s visitors continue to increase in number, you may want to have another exchange up your sleeve in case of another temporary ban in new users.
Binance has the following features:
The following exchanges are probably the closest equivalents to Binance you can find.
Are you visiting from outside the US?
One of the most overlooked options might be Coinbase, which also allows you to buy crypto directly with USD, rather than having to exchange it with another cryptocurrency.
It also offers wallet services and merchant services, so you don’t have to shop for a separate wallet outside of the exchange to hold your cryptocurrency.
If none of the above has what you’re looking for, you might want to start looking in one of the places below.
