California-based digital assets financial services company, BitGo, received a charter to operate in New York as an independent and regulated custodian.
BitGo Scores New York Trust Charter
According to an official announcement on Thursday (Mar. 4, 2021), BitGo was granted the trust license under the New York State Banking law by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). The approval comes after BitGo’s earlier application to the NYDFS for a New York Trust Charter back in August 2020.
With the new license, BitGo is able to act as a custodian to institutional clients in the state seeking to make large crypto investments. Also, the company would offer its New York clients an extensive crypto experience, fast onboarding, anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) controls, among other services.
