Binance.US says it is officially moving past its toughest period. Company CEO Stephen Gregory noted that the exchange is now focused on growth after undergoing what he described as a two-year ‘hibernation’ - a dormant period triggered by regulatory issues surrounding the Binance brand globally. And this time, its targets are anything but modest.
Gregory has set a goal to return Binance.US to a 20% market share in the US. It is an ambitious target given the severe pressure the company faced, while signaling management’s confidence that the worst has passed.
Strategy to Reclaim the Spotlight
To compete with giants like Coinbase and Kraken, Binance.US is preparing several key moves. Its core focus is an ultra-low trading fee strategy, paired with newly regulated product offerings and deeper liquidity. This combination is expected to win back traders who migrated during its hiatus.
Gregory also sees opportunities on the regulatory front. According to him, a friendlier US regulatory climate opens the door for Binance.US to expand beyond spot trading alone. This creates room to introduce new product lines that were previously difficult to offer amid regulatory uncertainty.
Favorable Timing
This ambition comes at what could be considered an ideal moment. Centralized exchange trading volume rose for the first time in five months in June 2026. Spot volume climbed 15.3% to $1.11 trillion, while RWA perpetual volume surged to a record $311 billion.
Those figures indicate that market appetite for trading activity is warming up again - an ideal environment for an exchange making a comeback and aiming to seize market share. The question remains whether low fees and new products will be enough to catch up with Coinbase and Kraken, both of which consolidated their positions while Binance.US was in hibernation. A 20% target sounds bold, and the coming months will reveal just how realistic that ambition is.
