Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has said that it is considering 30 potential cryptocurrencies and digital assets for its forthcoming U.S. partnership.

According to a Medium post published August 9, Binance US -- a “tailor-made platform to access cryptocurrencies in the United States" -- has adopted a Digital Asset Risk Assessment Framework to meet compliance requirements of the country.

This follows a move by the Malta-based exchange to deny U.S. citizens access to its primary trading platform in June, a day after announcing a partnership with BAM Trading Services to formally enter the U.S. market.

The company writes:

“Binance US strives to be a reliable and efficient marketplace for a rich selection of high-quality digital assets, so that our users can be part of the open and competitive market that discovers projects with true utility.”

To that end, the company also announced it is examining 30 crypto assets to launch on its U.S. platform. These include the top market cap cryptos like BTC, ETH, and LTC, as well as its own BNB token, among others.

As previously reported, BAM Trading Services will operate the U.S. platform, which is overlaid on Binance's wallet and matching engine technologies. The exchange aims to bolster its compliance and security practices through partnerships with the software provider Chainalysis and KYC/AML tool provider IdentityMind.

In July, Binance expanded its ecosystem by launching an exchange in Singapore.

Binance still has not set out a formal timetable for the launch of its U.S. platform.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Title Image

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.

Ano ang dapat malaman:

Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.

The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
