The discount is available only for deals using USD on Binance.US. However, since June 9, USD deposits on the exchange have been frozen, making it impossible for most investors to take advantage of this disparity. This implies that customers may only spend the USD in their accounts before the deposit freeze on discounted cryptocurrencies.
There are also worries that Binance.US may eventually stop supporting USD withdrawals. Some investors have been selling their cryptocurrency holdings at a discount to get out of their positions in USD before such regulations are implemented.
Binance.US has reportedly told clients through email that they can no longer withdraw USD after July 20.
