Steve Gregory, CEO of Binance.US, shares what it actually takes to bring a compliant crypto exchange product to market in the US. He explains how his background as a compliance lawyer shapes the way he leads product decisions; why the US crypto user has been underserved on leverage and derivatives for too long; and how Binance US is quietly positioning itself as a bridge between DeFi and the world of centralized exchanges.

Key Takeaways

  • Why compliance-first product development actually speeds delivery

  • What the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act have unlocked for US crypto exchanges

  • How Binance US is approaching the tension between privacy and KYC requirements

  • Why the next wave of crypto adoption won't come from DeFi power users

  • What the US crypto market keeps getting wrong about what customers actually want
