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.
It would really be on the same story which means you wont really have any choice but to comply KYC no matter what exchange you are trying to register.
For US binance users there still time left to use up the exchange though but it isnt really that a stressful thing yet there would still be some lots of good options in case it would completely close its doors to US citizens.
