The three exchanges today

Where each is available, how dollars get into USDT, fees and products — open each exchange for the verified facts.

Where Binance is available

Restricted in some regions — see below

Binance's prohibited list (version of 2026-01-05): the United States (residents and US citizens alike, including US citizens living abroad; US residents have the separate Binance.US), Canada, the Netherlands, plus Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Crimea and the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The list can change without notice, and section 25.5 of the terms forbids using a VPN or similar to get around regional restrictions. Australia and Japan have separate local entities; whether users in the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong or the EU can open accounts on the global site is not stated clearly. Mainland China: a 2026-02-06 notice from eight Chinese regulators bars offshore firms from providing crypto services to people in mainland China.
