Согласно отчету Cointelegraph, Департамент финансовых услуг штата Нью-Йорк (NYDFS) и Департамент банков штата Вайоминг объявили о подписании меморандума о взаимопонимании (MOU), который будет координировать регулирование криптовалютных компаний, работающих в обоих штатах, включая одобрение лицензий, проверки и потенциальные меры правоприменения. Это соглашение применяется к компаниям, которые уже регулируются в одном из штатов, а также к компаниям, стремящимся получить одобрение в обоих штатах одновременно.Согласно соглашению, регулирующие органы двух штатов будут обмениваться аналитическими результатами и историческими данными проверок, чтобы упростить процесс подачи заявок, координировать графики проверок и способствовать совместным проверкам компаний, работающих в нескольких штатах. Для компаний, которые уже регулируются в одном из штатов, имеют действующую лицензию или разрешение не менее трех лет и не подвергались мерам правоприменения, соглашение предоставляет ускоренный процесс одобрения, второй регулирующий орган стремится принять решение в течение шести месяцев.Этот MOU также устанавливает механизм обмена отчетами о регулировании, данными о рыночных тенденциях и уведомлениями о потенциальных мерах правоприменения, регулирующие органы будут регулярно обмениваться информацией о расследованиях и могут совместно, координированно или отдельно принимать меры правоприменения. Этот шаг связывает два штата, которые исторически принимали разные подходы к регулированию криптовалют: Нью-Йорк с 2015 года поддерживает систему BitLicense, в то время как Вайоминг принял законы и правила, связанные с криптовалютами, а также специальные банковские лицензии для поддержки бизнеса с цифровыми активами.
