Start for free →Binance.US (operated by BAM Trading Services) is a separate, US-regulated entity from the international Binance.com. They are not interchangeable. US residents should only use Binance.US for regulatory compliance. Tax reporting is also separate — Binance.US issues US tax forms like any other US exchange. Binance.com may not issue any US-compatible forms at all, which creates a whole separate set of problems.
