Binance.US seeks up to $100 million at $1 billion valuation
Binance.US is pursuing a private funding round of up to $100 million at a target valuation of about $1 billion to rebuild its presence and expand operations in the United States.
Binance.US is seeking to raise as much as $100 million in a private funding round at a valuation of approximately $1 billion, Bloomberg reported on October 15, 2026. The fundraising push comes as the exchange works to rebuild its domestic market presence and regain market share following a steep drop in trading volume after parent firm Binance settled with U.S. authorities in 2023.[1][2][3][5][7]
The proposed round reflects a sharp valuation decline from 2022, when Binance.US secured more than $200 million at a $4.5 billion pre-money valuation. World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture associated with the Trump family, was made aware of the proposed raise but is not participating. Sources noted that the final round size, valuation, and participant list may still change.[1][2][3][7]
According to the report, Binance.US intends to direct the capital toward broadening its U.S. trading operations. Alongside expanding its core crypto trading services, the platform is looking into prediction markets, working to reinstate money transmitter licenses across multiple states, and evaluating external liquidity sources, which could include tapping liquidity from Binance's global platform.[4][5][7]
