  Crypto exchanges in New York need to comply with several regulations to ensure legal and secure operations. One of the key regulations is the BitLicense, which was introduced by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) in 2015. This license requires exchanges to meet strict requirements related to cybersecurity, consumer protection, anti-money laundering (AML), and know-your-customer (KYC) procedures. Additionally, exchanges must maintain robust internal controls, implement risk assessment programs, and undergo regular audits to ensure compliance. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in severe penalties and even the suspension of operations.
