👍 Bitstamp receives New York's 19th BitLicense

New York's Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) has issued its 19th BitLicense and the fifth this year to crypto exchange Bitstamp, which predominantly operates in Europe with passive movements in the U.S to date. Bitstamp was one of the very first applicants for the license in June 2015. CEO Nejc Kodrič told CoinDesk that the regulatory procedure was little different from European Union licensing which the firm already possessed. Bitstamp will offer five cryptocurrencies to begin including Bitcoin ($BTC), Litecoin ($LTC), Bitcoin Cash ($BCH), Ethereum ($ETH), and XRP ($XRP).
