  According to industry experts, Binance's decision to block US customers was a strategic move to pave the way for the launch of their US-based exchange, Binance US. By blocking US customers on the main Binance platform, Binance can ensure a smooth transition to the US exchange and comply with local regulations. This move allows Binance to cater specifically to the needs of US customers while maintaining a strong presence in the global cryptocurrency market.
