Binance.US vs Gemini
Same kind of product, two profiles. Affiliate status is not how this page is ordered.
On the published entry rate this comparison sorts by, Binance.US is lower (0.00% maker / 0.02% taker).
Binance.US
Binance.US publishes a flat Advanced spot schedule: 0% maker and 0.02% taker on standard pairs, and 0% maker and 0.01% taker on BNB/USD. The simple Buy Crypto flow adds a spread. The company says it is licensed as a money transmitter in 32 states, so it is not nationwide.

Gemini
