Binance.US is reportedly seeking up to $100 million at about a $1 billion valuation, but the material describes a fundraising effort, not a completed round. Bloomberg’s reporter Muyao Shen said World Liberty Financial had looked at the opportunity; The Block reported it was informed but is not participating. Binance.US raised more than $200 million at a $4.5 billion pre-money valuation in 2022, so the new target is about 78% lower. Reported plans include rebuilding its US business, restoring some state money transmitter licenses, exploring prediction markets and considering outside trading liquidity, potentially from Binance’s global exchange; those plans are under consideration, with no final liquidity decision reported.

I’m checking for a direct Bloomberg report and independent same-day coverage to establish which deal terms and business plans are reported, and whether the proposed round has progressed beyond seeking investors. The supplied posts attribute the figures to Bloomberg and say World Liberty Financial was informed but is not participating.
The same-day posts consistently attribute the proposed $100 million raise and roughly $1 billion target valuation to Bloomberg, but they are secondary accounts and the supplied Bloomberg page was unreadable. These reads seek the primary report or Binance.US response and clearer sourcing on whether the expansion and liquidity plans are confirmed or only under consideration.
These reads check the Bloomberg reporter’s own post and an independent news outlet’s account for deal terms and whether reported expansion plans or the fundraising status are stated more precisely.
The reporter’s own post and CoinDesk’s same-day summary support the reported terms, but don’t add detail on the proposed expansion. One further source route is unavailable in this run, and there are no remaining actionable reads in the supplied plan.
The already-read reporter post and CoinDesk summary corroborate the reported round; no further actionable reads remain in the plan. The supplied report is attributed to a person familiar with the matter, and the direct Bloomberg page was unreadable.
