Binance.US Seeks New Bank Partners After SEC Case Dropped

Published at 2026-02-23 22:00:48

Binance.US is preparing to broaden its U.S. footprint after the SEC dismissed its 2023 litigation, with CEO Changpeng Zhao pointing to new banking relationships and emerging charter pathways as key enablers. The company framed the development as a turning point for rebuilding fiat on-ramps and scaling services across more states, saying bank partners and clearer charter routes will support compliance and operational growth.

The move matters because secure banking ties are essential for fiat liquidity, payments, and regulatory trust; winning new partners could speed product rollouts and make deposits and withdrawals smoother for customers. Market watchers will be looking for details on which banks sign on and which charter models Binance.US pursues, as those outcomes will shape how aggressively the exchange can expand and how quickly it can reestablish broader U.S. market access.
