The number of monthly spot pairs of Binance US fell from 337 pairs in June to 184 pairs in July. The spot trading pairs supported by Coinbase fell from 557 pairs in March to 524 pairs in July. And Kraken's spot trading pairs also fell from 668 pairs in February to 651 pairs in July. After the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Coinbase and Binance in early June, the exchange stopped supporting multiple trading pairs.
