ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Enrollment is automatic and applies to all existing users once the Opt-Out Period has passed, meaning users who did not act during that window have no further opportunity to avoid enrollment.

High Jun 6, 2026

The updated terms introduce automatic enrollment in Soft-Staking for eligible tokens held in user accounts, meaning assets will be staked on Binance.US's behalf with third-party providers unless users opt out before the policy takes effect. Previously, the terms stated staking was optional and required explicit designation. The revised language also establishes that starting July 1, 2026, users will receive at least 14 days' notice before material changes to fee schedules, terms, or account policies take effect. Users can avoid automatic staking by opting out before July 1, 2026, or by withdrawing or designating specific tokens as ineligible for Soft-Staking.
