“In the US, the virtual currency is subject to money transmitter laws at the federal level and in 47 states. The rules are not always clear, however, because they are written for money transmission services, not virtual currencies. The regulations are also in flux. New York is considering a special ‘BitLicense‘ for virtual currency firms, for example. As a result, many Bitcoin companies have not registered at either the state or federal level. Only 35 Bitcoin companies have registered with FinCEN, the bureau of the US Treasury Department that has taken the lead on Bitcoin regulation, and the agency has reached out to several dozen more that it believes need to register.”
