Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao noted that it took Binance.US less time to reach the daily $10 million mark than it took Binance in the beginning.
For comparison, according to CoinMarketCap, Binance completed over $823 million in trading volume today.
Off to a fast start
Since launch on Sept. 23, Binance.US has added new coins almost every week, including Algorand, Zcash, IOTA, Chainlink and many others.
Binance.US currently offers five BTC trading markets and 19 USD markets.
On Oct. 21, Binance.US announced the addition of IOTA and BUSD. This became the first time IOTA was listed on a fully regulated cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S., according to Dan Simerman, head of financial relations at the IOTA Foundation.
The company said it plans on introducing new cryptocurrencies in batches following the initial launch. The batches, Binance.US said, will be “highly-curated” and meet U.S. regulations and compliance standards based on the Digital Asset Risk Assessment Framework.
Alongside with IOTA, Binance.US also listed BUSD, a fully-regulated and USD-denominated stablecoin. BUSD made headlines in September when it received approval by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), becoming one of the few cryptocurrencies that can be sold to New York residents.
