How to access Binance.com from the US (and other restricted countries)
A short and simple introduction on how to access Binance.com from the US or any other restricted countries.
✅The short answer to this is: You will NOT be able to access Binance.com from any restricted country like you could before.
💡However there are great alternatives to Binance available out there.

A quick note to the reader: In this guide you will find referral links to the exchanges and services I myself use and have used for years, and which I regard top quality. I advise anyone to always use referrals for crypto exchanges because simply put; you lose out on lifetime fee discounts not doing so. I know i did..
Step 1: Find a VPN provider you like.
The first thing you need is a VPN. A VPN hides your IP address by letting the network redirect it through a specially configured remote server run by a VPN host. This means that if you surf online with a VPN, the VPN server becomes the source of your data, wherever it may be located in the world. In essence this means that if this VPN is hosted in a country in Europe, the exchange will experience that you sit in this country, even though you really sit in a restricted country.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that the VPN provider you use has a kill-switch ability which basically shuts down certain apps if the VPN were to lose connection. If this happens for any reason while you are online, the exchange may pick up your location.
VPN suggestion based on personal experience and the fact that it offers a kill-switch: Nord VPN.

There are several VPN’s to choose from, but this is the one I have ended up using on a regular basis, even outside of cryptotrading. It is stable and very intuitive, and the phone app is by far the best one i have ever tried. I’m personally not changing provider anytime soon. The Kill-switch is also a must!
Due to regulatory issues Binance.com will no longer accept unverified trading!
If you are looking to trade Leverage/futures the MEXC exchange is currently the most popular platform among traders. This goes for US and non-US citizens alike. MEXC is considered one of the best crypto platform after Binance. MEXC is also the king of altcoins, being among the first to list all new memecoins and other altcoins.
( ❗️ Activate VPN before you try to sign up. Do NOT verify KYC from a restricted country!)
Step 2: Fund your MEXC account.
You will not be able to purchase crypto directly with credit card on MEXC due to the fact that you cannot (and don’t want to) get verified/perform KYC verification as a citizen of a restricted country such as the US. You can however transfer crypto from other exchanges or from your wallet.
The solution is therefore very simple:
- Create an account on COINBASE which is accessible in the US, has cheap withdrawal rate and have a fast verification system (Or another exchange if you prefer that).
- Verify your account according to Coinbase guidelines.
- Buy crypto using your credit card or bank transfer.
- Transfer crypto from your Coinbase wallet to your MEXC wallet.
Do NOT send money on Bitcoin or Ethereum network due to extremely high fees. Use any other network!
Step 4: Start trading
This is not financial advise, or advise for anyone to circumvent or break the rules/laws/ToS of your country or the exchange, it is merely information on how some people choose to access exchanges as citizens of restricted country. You must do your own research and due diligence on how you may be affected by utilizing this common method.
