ByteDance intends to launch a US-specific version of CapCut, known as 'CapCut US', as part of compliance with a 2024 divest-or-ban law. Additionally, the company is planning to create a separate US version of TikTok. This move indicates a strategy to separate its US assets beyond just TikTok’s ownership. CapCut is widely popular, with over one billion downloads and currently ranking as the top photo and video app in the US app store.
