The inter-state coalition will help reduce the time it takes to review common key elements of licence applications and reduce uncertainty about the acceptance of these elements between these states. This announcement shows that states are taking steps with the CSBS to streamline and reduce the licensing burden for MSBs who wish to enter new legal systems. Members of the MsB and Fintech sectors hope this is the first of many steps to simplify the multi-state licensing process. Given the CSBS`s commitment to its Vision 2020 initiative, we expect more useful announcements in the near future. Greg Gonzales, European Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions, said: «With this initiative, state governments will be able to respond to business innovations while ensuring compliance with the legislation. For nearly thirty (30) years, this department has expressed support for a more coordinated approach to the authorisation and regulation of MG, and it is satisfying to be among the first states to take this step towards an integrated national system. It is a global industry and its oversight must be treated in such a way that consumers can use a wide range of products while ensuring adequate regulation. It is important that many new applicants are reduced when trying to obtain licences in these countries. Operating an MSB in several states generally means that the company must conduct an expensive and time-consuming domestic licensing campaign, which must take several months or even years.

These financial issuers must not only meet federal registration, they must also meet licensing requirements in each U.S. state where they wish to operate. This is often easier said than done. Many U.S. states, Wyoming with its recent plethora of progressive blockchain laws is the exception, yet crypto companies see with a healthy dose of skepticism, inspired by a lack of technical understanding and bad press, and try to regulate them in the ground. The agreement: a national regulator reviews common licensing requirements – business plan; Direct and indirect owners, including background checks; Financial information and compliance with anti-money laundering provisions of the Federal Bank`s Secrecy Act. These important elements of an MSB represent an important part of the use of enforcement controls.
