The new regulatory guidelines issued by New York State have mixed implications for Bitcoin, as the regulatory structure clearly demarcates the acceptable Bitcoin transactions from those, which are not. But it has now created a barrier for the emergence of a fully-operated Bitcoin bank. ‘BitLicenses” as the new regulations are called places every bit of detail about legal Bitcoin activities, which is a welcome step by the State, but implies a problem for those, who wanted to start a Bitcoin Bank. Thus, unlike normal banking structure, a Bitcoin bank has to maintain 100% of Bitcoins in its wallet at all times, which theoretically chucks out those entities from a ‘bank’ structure.
