Binance.US, the cryptocurrency exchange that first launched in the United States in September 2019, finally has the green light to sign up Floridians to its service.

Binance.US says it is now "fully registered and regulated [as a] crypto and digital asset exchange," meaning Floridians can now buy, sell, and trade in the 40+ digital currencies Binance.US supports.
