How Do You Get a Binance Coin in NY?

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is now allowing New Yorkers to buy and sell digital assets on its platform. The move comes after the exchange spent the past six months “working closely” with the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) to obtain a BitLicense.

Binance.US, the American arm of Binance, first launched in September 2019 with support for only a handful of states.

The exchange has since expanded its operations, but until now, New York was not one of the supported states.

Now, however, Binance has received a BitLicense from the DFS, allowing it to offer its services to residents of New York. The license was granted on January 10 and published on the DFS website today.

With the addition of New York, Binance.US now supports trading in 43 states and Washington D.

C. The only states where the exchange is not yet operational are Alabama, Alaska, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, North Carolina, Texas, and Vermont.

NOTE: WARNING: Investing in cryptocurrency is risky, and there are no guarantees that you will make a profit. Before investing, it is important to research the risks associated with cryptocurrencies, as well as any regulatory requirements in your jurisdiction. Additionally, Binance Coin (BNB) is not currently available in New York due to the fact that it is not yet considered a security. Therefore, it is illegal to purchase or trade BNB in New York. If you choose to purchase or trade BNB from another jurisdiction, be sure to research any applicable regulations before doing so.

The news comes just days after Binance announced that it would be adding support for buying and selling cryptocurrencies with fiat currencies on its main platform. The feature is currently live in beta for a select group of users but is expected to be rolled out to all users in the coming weeks.

In order to trade on Binance.com with fiat currencies, users will need to go through a “know-your-customer” (KYC) verification process.

It is not yet clear if this will also be required for users who want to trade on Binance.US with fiat currency pairs.

Binance Coin (BNB) is the native cryptocurrency of the Binance platform and can be used to pay fees on the exchange. BNB can also be traded on Binance against other cryptocurrencies and used to purchase goods and services through the Binance ecosystem.

To get started buying BNB on Binance.US, you will first need to create an account and undergo KYC verification.

Once your account is verified, you can deposit USD into your account and use it to purchase BNB or any other supported cryptocurrency on the platform.
