Why is Binance blocked in the US?

I'm somewhat puzzled about the recent news that Binance has been blocked in the United States. As a leading cryptocurrency exchange platform, Binance has always been known for its innovative services and robust security measures. Could you please elaborate on the reasons behind this decision by the US authorities? Is it related to regulatory concerns, security issues, or something else? And what does this mean for the cryptocurrency community in the US and beyond? I'd appreciate it if you could provide some clarity on this matter. Why is Binance blocked in the US?
