Lawsky: Final BitLicense to Be Released By End of May

New York Department of Financial Services superintendent Benjamin M. Lawsky anticipates the final version of the BitLicense regulatory framework will be released sometime before the end of May.

Speaking to reporters on 21st April during a Dow Jones risk and compliance conference in New York City, Lawsky noted that his office is in contact with other state regulators and is watching how both domestic and foreign regulation of digital currency activities takes shape.

“We’re going to see how this all shakes out. I think there’s room for federalism, but at the same time if you have a whole series of different rules and it becomes a crazy quilt patchwork, that can get hard to comply with,” he said.
