According to Foresight News, Adrienne Harris, the head of the New York Department of Financial Services, stated at the Consensus 2025 conference that in the absence of a federal framework in the United States, New York's cryptocurrency regulatory system remains a guide for domestic and international regulatory agencies, including Congress. The encryption standards in the state have played a good role in preventing companies such as FTX from entering. New York State has established BitLicense to regulate cryptocurrency companies and has deployed 60 staff members to oversee this work.
