From Wendy:
Below are the steps I take to safely access Binance from USA. I am referring here to the”regular” Binance, not to the watered down, inferior USA version of Binance.
How to access Binance if you live in USA
Please be sure to follow these steps in order. If you skip the first step and if you skip the second step, you probably will get ejected from Binance before you’ve really begun. ;-)
1. Choose a Virtual Privacy Network (VPN). There are many available, both paid and free. One example of a low cost paid VPN is VirtualShield.com. But, feel free to use a different one which you can locate via an internet search for free or paid VPNs. Then, download VPN of your choice to your computer.
However, please note that certain VPNs function better with certain computers than with others. So, before purchasing or downloading a VPN, you might want to ask the VPN company if their VPN Service usually functions well with your system. Often, the VPN company will offer a list of computers/systems with which their VPN is most compatible.
2. Extremely important: Be sure to turn on your VPN, and be sure to set it to a country, such as Germany or Mexico, with which Binance offers full functionality. Most countries will be just fine. Please just do not select any city in the USA.
3. Go to Binance.com and create new account. But, please note that, because you are from USA, Binance won’t allow you to fill out a KYC. (More accurately, Binance will close your account if you fill out a KYC). Also, please note that, because you won’t be able to KYC, your Binance account functions will be limited. For example, you won’t be allowed to withdraw more than 2 BTC per day. But, at least a basic account will give you full access to Spot Trading. In other words, if you instead open an account with Binance USA (as opposed to the Binance accessed by just about every other country), then you will have far fewer coins from which to choose.
So, during Binance account set up, you are only going to provide the absolute minimal information required, such as your email address. You MUST provide an email address otherwise you will not be able to withdraw coins from Binance. But, please do NOT offer your snail mail (home or billing) address. Just give the very basics required to set up a bare bones account.
You are all set to use Binance.com :-). Just, please, be sure to always turn on your VPN before going to Binance.com and before logging in to your Binance account.
