Слайд 2Money Transmission on the Federal Level
FinCEN regulates Money Service Businesses (“MSBs”)
on the federal level
Goal is to prevent money laundering and provide law enforcement with records and data
MSBs, in general, are required to:
register with FinCEN
collect, verify, record report customer information
check identities against watch lists (terrorists, criminals, enemies of the state)
deny service for some customer
file suspicious activity reports with FinCEN if there are unusual or suspicious activity. The threshold amount for filing is $2,000 (or above) on an aggregate basis
One kind of MSB is a “Money Transmitter”

Слайд 3Money Transmission on the Federal Level
According to FinCEN, you are a
money transmitter if, among other things, you:
Accept value from person A and give it to person B
Hosted wallets that permits exporting private keys
Accept value from person A and give it to A at a different time or place
“Storage” services
Exchange digital currency for government currency
Fiat exchanges
Exchange one digital currency for another
Crypto exchanges
Mine and make a payment to a third party on behalf of your customer

Слайд 4Money Transmission on the Federal Level
Still, you may not be a
“money transmitter” so long as you:
Only provide the delivery, communication, or network access services used by a money transmitter to support money transmission services;
Act only for your own investment
Exercising discretion in your investment strategy
But if you make payments to 3rd parties at their direction you may be an MSB
Merely perform certain limited payment processing services

...Suffice it to say, you want to fall into one of these categories; however, certain other types of financial services can qualify you as an MSB subject to the extensive reporting and recordkeeping under the BSA, so you need to make sure none of your activities/services are within the scope of the definition of MSB
Слайд 5Money Transmission on the State Level
The states regulate money transmitters separately
from the Federal Government
The states require not mere registration, but full blown licensure
That your business must be licensed in one state does not mean it must be licensed in any other
Not guaranteed to be awarded a license; money transmission is a privilege, not a right

Слайд 6Money Transmission on the State Level
First Question: Must my business be
licensed?
So long as you service or solicit that state's citizens or businesses, no matter where in the world you are, a license may be required.
Each state has its own laws on what constitutes:
“money”
“transmission”

Recent Developments: The “Bitlicense” (Continued)
Who needs
a license? Those who:
Convert digital currency to fiat currency or another digital currency
Receive digital currency for transmission
Transmit, secure, store, hold or take control of digital currency
Some specifics:
No statutory limitation on the bonding requirement – broad discretion to DFS
Maintain “full reserve” (no bank-style lending permitted; only vaulting)
For all transactions over $10k: must collect and report names of both parties (difficult to satisfy, since sender need not know identity of recipient to send)
Prohibition on investing in Bitcoin
