New York Releases Final BitLicense
Final BitLicense Proves Divisive Milestone in US Bitcoin Regulation
"They changed so little with this version, it's laughable," Yale Law School's Elizabeth Stark told CoinDesk.
Stark, for example, took issue with the idea that startups would need a license to "issue a virtual currency", which she argued would hurt the growing number of bitcoin 2.0 projects seeking to use cryptographic tokens to incentivize communities.
Though exceptions were made for the use of tokens for non-financial purposes, Stark predicted the industry will see a broader trend toward decentralization, though at the cost of ease of use for consumers.
