Why Do Crypto Exchanges Have a Separate U.S. Platform?

[nihalsari]

Q: Why don’t global exchanges just operate one platform for all countries?
A: Because the U.S. has its own strict financial regulations, including SEC, CFTC, FinCEN and state-by-state licensing rules. A global exchange built for dozens of countries can’t meet U.S. requirements without major changes.
Q: What changes are needed?
A: U.S. exchanges need specific licenses, stricter KYC/AML systems, clearer asset classifications and tighter risk controls.
Q: Does this affect trading features?
A: Yes — some tokens, leverage products and earn features may be restricted under U.S. law.
