Coinbase Cryptocurrency Exchange Made Its Comeback To Wyoming After Three years

Coinbase, the popular San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange platform, made its comeback to Wyoming after three years. In 2015, Coinbase announced they ceased their operations in the before-mentioned US state due to the adoption of the Money Transmitter Act which implies crypto trading platforms to possess a “double reserve.”

Three years ago, Coinbase estimated its business would not be profitable anymore under the conditions of the Money Transmitter Act. However, the “double reserve” would have been necessary for every cryptocurrency exchange platform to get its license renewed.

Coinbase cryptocurrency exchange returns to Wyoming after three years

In March 2018, Wyoming passed a bill that amended the Money Transmitter Act and added exceptions for cryptocurrency operations.

The official Coinbase announcement also shows the changes the new bill brought to cryptocurrencies. Accordingly, “cryptocurrency companies in Wyoming are no longer required to double reserve the assets of state residents.”

Thanks to this new bill that amended the Money Transmitter Act, Coinbase clients in Wyoming can once again access their funds on the cryptocurrency exchange platform and commence trading operations with cryptocurrencies.

We believe this action by Wyoming will spur innovation and economic activity for individuals, families, and communities across the state.
