Is Binance not allowing new customers to sign up in the USA? For real?
Yes, I get the following error when I try to sign up for Binance from an IP in the United States:
Persons that are located in or a resident of the United States of America will be unable to create an account at Binance.com.
You could always just use a VPN to sign up if you really want to use the site and trade on it (working for me at the moment), though I know there are people against doing this for various reasons. I assume Binance is going to require KYC when the US-friendly version of the site launches as well, considering there's no exchanges out there I know of that allow US traders to trade without completing KYC.
