SUPERINTENDENT LAWSKY ISSUES NOTICE OF INTENT TO HOLD PUBLIC
HEARING REGARDING VIRTUAL CURRENCIES ON JANUARY 28 AND 29 IN
NEW YORK CITY
Benjamin M. Lawsky, Superintendent of Financial Services, today issued a notice that the New
York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) will hold a public hearing on the
regulation of virtual currencies on January 28 and 29 in New York City.
In August 2013, NYDFS announced that it had launched an inquiry into the appropriate
regulatory guidelines for virtual currencies. As part of an ongoing fact-finding effort informing
that inquiry, NYDFS subsequently announced its intention to hold a public hearing on this issue,
including
the potential NYDFS issuance of a ‘BitLicense’ specific to virtual currencies.
The hearing is open to the press and public, however, space is limited. Members of the media
and public interested in attending the hearing should RSVP no later than January 27 at 2:00
PM to
Caitlin.Ferrell@dfs.ny.gov.
Additional details on the hearing, including witness lists and the timing of specific panels, will
be announced in the near future. The witnesses providing testimony at the hearing are expected
to include a broad cross-section of industry participants, investors, academics, and other
individuals involved in the virtual currency industry.
