CZ: Binance Aims to Expand US Presence, Including Seeking Bank Charter

BlockBeats News, February 23rd, during the World Liberty Financial Forum, Binance founder CZ stated in an interview with Bloomberg: "Binance wants to expand more business in the United States, hoping to bring excellent products to the United States, making it easier for American consumers to access these high-quality products."

In the interview, CZ revealed that after the U.S. SEC filed a lawsuit in 2023, Binance.US lost a large number of bank channels and market share, facing heavy obstacles. However, the lawsuit was dismissed last year under the leadership of SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, appointed by Trump. With a more friendly regulatory environment emerging, once-unattainable options, including deeper banking relationships and even seeking a banking license, are now "entirely possible," but he emphasized that any such moves would depend on the right team and legal guidance.
