At present time, Binance is also facing regulatory pressure in the United States. Because of the enforcement action & secret hidden pressure on the US local companies, Binance is losing its US partners. To this date, Binance has no US banking partner as all the US banks are facing regulatory heat over their relationship with crypto companies.
Also because of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) agency, BUSD issuer company Paxos terminated its partnership with the Binance exchange.
