There Are New Developments Taking Place

For the new type of offshoot that company went ahead to fill the money service business, referred to as the MSB, a registration with the U.S Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), this was done in November 2017. The document also shows that the legal entity that is behind the exchange is called the OKCoin USA Inc, a company that has been based in Mountain view in California.

Unfortunately, according to the company website, the fiat crypto trading is still limited only to the investors who are located in California, which is just a small limitation that is indicated in the initial filling done to MSB.
