<p>The company decided to suspend withdrawals as the U.S. financial regulators froze Binance.US&#8217;s assets earlier on the same day. In response to a <a href="https://walletinvestor.com/magazinadmin/binance-lawyers-accuse-sec-chair-gensler/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a> from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Binance.US initially planned to remove a significant number of trading pairs. However, after receiving feedback from the community, they have revised their plans and will now only delist 10 trading pairs.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;" id="revised-delisting-plans-for-trading-pairs">Revised Delisting Plans for Trading Pairs</h2>
<p>The trading pairs that will be removed include ATOM/BTC, BCH/BTC, DOT/BTC, LRC/BTC, MANA/BTC, UNI/BTC, VET/BTC, XTZ/BTC, HBAR/BUSD, and ONE/BUSD. Despite this change, customers can still trade all other cryptocurrencies and USDT pairs. Binance.US has assured its users that their assets are safe and secure, and deposits and withdrawals are functioning normally.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;" id="temporary-pause-of-otc-trading-portal">Temporary Pause of OTC Trading Portal</h2>
<p>In addition to these changes, Binance.US has temporarily paused its OTC Trading Portal, which allows buyers and sellers to trade without using a public order book. The company emphasizes that customer assets remain secure and that the suspension of USD deposits and possible withdrawal channel pauses are measures taken to protect their users and platform.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;" id="assurance-of-asset-safety-and-normal-functionality">Assurance of Asset Safety and Normal Functionality</h2>
<p>Binance.US clarifies that it maintains a 1:1 reserve for all customer assets. If there are delays in processing withdrawals, it may be due to increased volumes and bank closures during weekends. However, trading, staking, deposits, and withdrawals in cryptocurrencies continue to be fully operational.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;" id="challenges-faced-and-commitment-to-defend">Challenges Faced and Commitment to Defend</h2>
<p>The company acknowledges the challenges it faces due to the SEC&#8217;s aggressive tactics against the digital asset industry. While the company is open to finding a compromise that supports a thriving digital asset marketplace in the United States, they are determined to defend themselves, their customers, and the industry against what they believe are baseless attacks from the SEC.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;" id="updates-on-trading-pairs-and-buy-sell-convert-offering">Updates on Trading Pairs and Buy, Sell &amp; Convert Offering</h2>
<p>To provide further updates, Binance.US has decided to remove select BTC and BUSD Advanced Trading pairs and streamline its Buy, Sell &amp; Convert offering. They have also paused the OTC Trading Portal for now. The maximum order amount for Buy, Sell &amp; Convert has been adjusted to $10,000. Customers are advised to review their trades and take appropriate action before the affected trading pairs are removed from Binance.US.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;" id="important-reminders-for-users">Important Reminders for Users</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s important to note that these changes only impact select assets and trading pairs for Advanced Trade and Buy, Sell &amp; Convert. Deposits, withdrawals, and general trade functionality for all assets remain unaffected. Binance.US will notify users when OTC trading becomes available again in the future.</p>
