As per the official release, the initial registration phase will enable users to sign up and select the tier of verification based on their desired withdrawal limits. This will allow them to make deposits across the initial selection of digital assets consisting of BTC, ETH, XRP, BCH, LTC, and USDT.

Although Binance has not revealed any trading pairs, the release document also states that users will be notified “with an update detailing when trading will go live for specific pairs.” Additionally, it mentioned,

“After trading launches for this first phase, we will be continually adding to the selection of digital assets available for verified users to deposit and eventually trade on Binance.US”

Hinting towards future updates, Binance has said that the trading availability of the digital assets will be based on their U.S. specific “Digital Asset Risk Assessment Framework.”
