The center quickly became a hub for fans of the still fairly underground cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>Spanos tells Magazine that Bitcoin Center NYC brought Bitcoin from the back alleys to Wall Street, from something hidden to something celebrated, from something unknown to something open and transparent.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9649\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9649\" style=\"width: 409px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-9649\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CT-pex-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"409\" height=\"307\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9649\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Bitcoin Center NYCs brick-and-mortar space.

Though it was ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, New York Blockchain Week 2020 was set to feature <b>Consensus<\/b>, the <b>Digital Asset Summit<\/b>, <b>Ethereal Summit<\/b>, <b>The Block Summit<\/b>, <b>Magical Crypto Conference<\/b>, <b>ETH NYC<\/b> and <b>Smart Contract Summit <\/b><strong>#0<\/strong>.

Its a very cosmopolitan city, so you have people from every country and walk of life. He adds, We see a lot of wealth here. If rich people want to put 1% to 5% of their wealth into crypto, its going to happen here.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We are going to the moon <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/66MvxpWW4w\">pic.twitter.com\/66MvxpWW4w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Alex Mashinsky  (@Mashinsky) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mashinsky\/status\/1450596000989687810?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 19, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>New York City has also been part of the burgeoning nonfungible token art scene. In March 2021, the artist collective <b>Superchief <\/b>opened what it alleged to be the first-ever brick-and-mortar NFT art gallery, and the <b>Postmasters<\/b> gallery in lower Manhattan has an NFT-focused division called PostmastersBLOCKCHAIN. Meanwhile, Beeples $69-million sale of Everydays: The First 5000 Days in March took place via the NYC branch of auction house <b>Christies<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>However, some warn that NYC has been undergoing a brain drain that has seen top talent going elsewhere, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>During the pandemic, other cities and states have been aggressively courting the crypto community with business, tax and regulatory incentives, and some have chosen to leave, says Moro.<\/p>\n<p>Mashinsky adds, When you look at how fast Miami is moving, they created a coin for the city. They did all kinds of stuff, so were definitely behind. Were almost reacting instead of enacting.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe thats why crypto has been shaping up as an election issue. In June 2021, Eric Adams, the Democratic frontrunner for NYCs next mayor, proclaimed that he would turn the city into the center of Bitcoins. Meanwhile, his Republican competitor, Curtis Sliwa, has pledged to make New York the most cryptocurrency-friendly city in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>(function() {window.mc4wp = window.mc4wp || {listeners: [],forms: {on: function(evt, cb) {window.mc4wp.listeners.push({event   : evt,callback: cb});}}}})();<!-- Mailchimp for WordPress v4.8.6 - https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/mailchimp-for-wp\/ --><\/p>\n<div class=\"mc4wp-form-fields\">\n<div class=\"jeg_mc4wp_heading\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_best_of_blockchain_every_Tuesday\"><\/span>The best of blockchain, every Tuesday<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>  Subscribe for thoughtful explorations and leisurely reads from Magazine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>By subscribing you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy<\/div>\n<p><label>Leave this field empty if you&#8217;re human: <\/label><\/p>\n<div class=\"mc4wp-response\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/ Mailchimp for WordPress Plugin --><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Projects_and_companies\"><\/span>Projects and companies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Many crypto and blockchain companies have called the tech and finance hub home.

At the time of writing, only three centralized exchanges  <b>Coinbase<\/b>, <b>Coinbase Pro<\/b> and <b>Gemini<\/b>  are accessible to New York residents. In addition, the number of coins available to trade on these platforms is limited when compared with what is available in other states. For New Yorkers who are willing to brave the waters of decentralized exchanges, all of the top DEXs  such as <b>Uniswap<\/b>, <b>1inch<\/b>, <b>PancakeSwap<\/b>, <b>SushiSwap<\/b> and others  can be accessed from the city.<\/p>\n<p>The citys hustle and bustle may result in you needing to buy BTC on the go. Thankfully, the city that never sleeps has dozens of <b>Bitcoin ATMs<\/b> scattered throughout the five boroughs  though only a small handful of them allows you to also sell BTC. The city also has a Bitcoin Cash ATM located in the Bronx, an Ether ATM located in downtown Manhattan, and one ATM in the Bronx that will let you buy and sell Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, Dash and Zcash.<\/p>\n<p>NYC residents have a number of options when it comes to traditional banking, including <b>Chase Bank<\/b>, <b>Citibank<\/b>, <b>Wells Fargo<\/b>, <b>Bank of America<\/b>, <b>Capital One<\/b> and more. But when it comes to using the money in ones bank account to purchase crypto, banks have historically been somewhat hesitant, with credit card purchases a notorious sticking point. In February 2018, crypto exchange Coinbase <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/coinbase\/status\/960726774391828481\">reported<\/a> that customers of Chase, Bank of America, Citibank and Capital One were being blocked from purchasing crypto via the exchange.<\/p>\n<p>However, banks seem to be easing up, and Mashinsky points out that August and September were very good months for crypto from a bank standpoint, with multiple major Wall Street banks announcing crypto services. Definitely plenty of progress this year from the tier-one banks.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9658\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9658\" style=\"width: 336px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-9658\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NY-SE.jpg\" alt=\"NYSE\" width=\"336\" height=\"504\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9658\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>New York Stock Exchange building, located on Wall Street.

The application process, maintained by the New York State Department of Financial Services, is known to be long, costly, arduous, confusing and highly complicated. Companies may also choose to apply for a limited-purpose trust charter and face even stricter regulations but receive additional benefits, such as fiduciary powers.<\/p>\n<p>When the requirement was first implemented in mid-2015, a significant number of companies that had been serving NYC residents simply stopped offering their products to New Yorkers rather than go through the intense application process. At the time, the New York Business Journal <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/newyork\/news\/2015\/08\/12\/the-great-bitcoin-exodus-has-totally-changed-new.html\">dubbed<\/a> it <b>The Great Bitcoin Exodus<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Spanos tells Magazine, The NY DFS BitLicense was the death knell for crypto innovation in the entire state. It was the ultimate backroom deal cut in a smoke-filled room that allegedly protected consumers but actually harmed New Yorkers and restricted their free choice. He adds, If you do not have massive capital, you will not get off the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Some of those that pulled out of the state include exchanges Kraken, Poloniex, ShapeShift and Bitfinex; peer-to-peer marketplace LocalBitcoins; mining firms BTC Guild, Genesis Mining and Eobot; and payments service GoCoin. While Paxful remains headquartered in the city, it is in the strange situation of not being able to actually serve anyone who lives there.<\/p>\n<p>Mashinsky tells Magazine, The BitLicense was not put in place to protect the consumer or protect the community. That was something that this or that regulator put to create a job for themselves. He adds that the requirement also reduces healthy competition, resulting in higher fees for customers  such as those seen on Coinbase. The reason they can get away with it is because they have a BitLicense and others dont.<\/p>\n<p>However, Shaulov holds a different perspective, saying that the citys firm regulation is ultimately beneficial. At least there is some level of clarity of what is required in terms of what its like to operate in the city, he tells Magazine, adding, In the long term, where regulation will exist everywhere, clarity  even if its somewhat unclear  is best.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p>The inconvenient reality is that you cant escape regulation forever. At some point, you need to deal with it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In 2019, the state initiated a new crackdown, this time on <b>Bitfinex<\/b> and <b>Tether<\/b>. It alleged that the sister companies lied about the backing of USDT and intentionally covered up massive financial losses. In February 2021, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that the two companies  neither of which has a BitLicense  were banned from all trading activity involving New Yorkers, would pay a fine, and would submit to mandatory reporting requirements. A week later, James issued a warning to the industry: You either play by the rules or we will shut you down.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, cryptocurrencies must be approved by the state before they can be listed or used in New York. The Department of Financial Services <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dfs.ny.gov\/apps_and_licensing\/virtual_currency_businesses\/virtual_currencies\">maintains<\/a> a Greenlist of preapproved assets, which includes a handful of major coins, such as Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Litecoin and Binance USD. Crypto assets not included on the Greenlist must be individually certified.<\/p>\n<p>These controversial regulatory decisions trickle down to the average investor as well, as the opportunities to buy, sell and trade cryptocurrencies in New York City are rather limited. Its no wonder that Reddit is full of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Bitcoin\/comments\/k7e0es\/why_is_it_so_hard_to_buy_cryptocurrency_in_new\/\">posts<\/a> asking <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/CryptoCurrency\/comments\/mjwkkg\/why_does_new_york_suck_so_much_ass_for_crypto\/\">questions<\/a> like Why is it so hard to buy cryptocurrency in New York state? and Why does New York suck so much ass for crypto investors?<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Notable_figures\"><\/span>Notable figures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>New York City is home to a wide range of interesting characters, including many crypto pioneers, entrepreneurs and advocates.
