Binance.US Launches Self-Custody Wallet to Bring Onchain Access to Users

Binance.US has added a self-custody wallet to its mobile app, giving users a way to hold crypto themselves and connect to decentralized apps.

The Binance.US Wallet is available on iOS and Android, allowing users to move between centralized trading and self-custody without switching platforms. The wallet gives users control of their crypto while providing access to thousands of tokens and hundreds of decentralized applications across multiple networks.

Wallet Adds Cross-Chain Access

Users can swap tokens and move assets across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Solana and Robinhood Chain. Binance.US has also introduced Market Spotlight, which provides token data and risk indicators for users evaluating digital assets.

The wallet uses keyless technology instead of a traditional seed phrase. Its private key is divided into encrypted parts stored across the user’s device, personal cloud storage and Binance.US. At least two key shares are required to access the wallet, according to the company.

Binance.US Expands Onchain Access

The launch gives Binance.US users direct access to onchain markets without requiring a separate wallet or platform. It also brings decentralized applications and cross-chain transactions into the same mobile app used for centralized trading.
