Binance’s potential reentry into the U.S. market is back in focus. While Binance co-CEO Richard Teng stated the exchange is taking a “wait-and-see” approach, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse believes Binance’s return is only a matter of time.
Binance exited the U.S. in 2023 following a $4.3 billion settlement with the Department of Justice related to compliance failures. Former CEO Changpeng Zhao later received a presidential pardon in October, and reports suggest the company has been evaluating a comeback.
Speaking at Davos, Teng emphasized that the U.S. remains a critical market but said Binance will move cautiously. Garlinghouse, however, was more confident, stating that Binance’s return would increase competition, lower costs for users, and help bring more participants into the crypto market.
The discussion also comes as the U.S. debates new crypto regulations. While Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has publicly opposed the proposed Clarity Act, both Teng and Garlinghouse expressed support, arguing that clear regulation is better than regulatory uncertainty.
According to industry leaders, regulatory clarity could unlock growth, improve market structure, and encourage major global players like Binance to reengage with the U.S. crypto ecosystem.
The question is no longer if Binance returns — but when, and under what regulatory framework.
