Moonpay’s New York Triumph: Bitlicense Secured, Crypto Dreams Realized

Ah, the sweet taste of victory. Moonpay USA, ever the diligent player in the game of financial licenses, has triumphed once again—this time securing both the coveted bitlicense and money transmitter licenses from the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). A momentous achievement, allowing them to offer their full suite of fiat-to-crypto services to the good people of New York. How positively thrilling for all involved, wouldn’t you agree? 🍾

And with this shiny new approval, Moonpay can now legally grace every corner of the Empire State with their crypto offerings, completing their grand tour of the United States. Yes, folks, that’s right—Moonpay is now permitted to serve customers in all 50 states. No more gaps, no more missed opportunities. They’re everywhere, like a well-dressed phantom of the digital world. 🌍

In a delightful twist, the company joins an exclusive group of crypto payment providers who are now authorized to conduct virtual currency business in New York. A rather prestigious club, wouldn’t you say? Co-founder and CEO Ivan Soto-Wright, no doubt basking in his own brilliance, proudly declared that this achievement represents the “golden regulatory stack.” Well, well, Ivan, you certainly have a way with words. And who could forget his passion for making cryptocurrency accessible to every last corner of this great nation? Bless his heart. 💰

But wait, the tale doesn’t end here. Moonpay also boasts money transmission licenses in 46 other U.S. jurisdictions. They’re not just stopping at New York, no no. They’re expanding their regulatory footprint internationally as well, with registrations in the UK, Australia, and Canada. Their global dominance continues to grow, like a carefully tended garden of regulatory approval. 🌱

This, of course, comes right on the heels of Moonpay’s grand unveiling of their new headquarters in New York City. It’s almost as if they’re trying to make sure everyone knows who’s who in the world of digital payments. And let’s not forget, their 2024 financial performance was nothing short of record-breaking. A true triumph of modern capitalism!
