Is Binance.US regulated?
Not fully — Binance.US's US regulatory standing is unsettled and still being rebuilt. ChainChoice's affiliate-blind CLARITY Act readiness assessment places Binance.US in its Re-entry band — a band of regulatory readiness, not a score. Its regulatory standing is driven by: Federal registration pathway: developing; US state licensing breadth: adequate; Regulatory track record: weak.
The evidence
Why this verdict
Post-settlement rebuild after major US enforcement actions; meaningful remediation and re-licensing overhead before a credible federal registration.
