The surge accompanies bullish price action from the major crypto assets. The price of Bitcoin is more than $19,100 at the time of publication, having risen 4% since yesterday, Ether (ETH) has surged more than 25% in the last week to reach $605, and yesterday, XRP rallied to a yearly high of $0.73 after more than doubling in the span of a week.

While the exchange is drawing in more trading activity than ever, it’s doing so without U.S. users. Several Twitter users based in the United States have reported an email from Binance informing them they have 14 days to close their accounts. The exchange reportedly said the accounts will be locked if they fail to withdraw all funds before the deadline. Binance has been restricted for users living in the United States since September 2019.
