Crypto in New York
New York is the financial capital of the country and the strictest crypto jurisdiction in it. Since 2015, virtual-currency businesses serving New Yorkers have needed authorization from the state's financial regulator - the well-known BitLicense regime - which shapes almost everything about how crypto is held and traded in the state.
That strictness has a side effect we see constantly in our New York casework: because some platforms simply don't serve New York, residents end up on offshore or unlicensed venues, where fraud is more common and recovery is harder. Alongside that, New York produces sophisticated cases in volume - finance professionals targeted by tailored social-engineering attacks, institutional disputes over custody and trading, and litigation where precise on-chain evidence decides the outcome.
We support New York clients remotely statewide, from NYC to Buffalo, and work extensively with law firms: transaction tracing, asset discovery, valuation at legally significant dates, and independent expert testimony prepared for New York's state and federal courts - including the Manhattan federal courts where many of the country's most significant crypto cases are heard.
Crypto regulation and enforcement in New York
The New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) has licensed and supervised virtual-currency businesses under the BitLicense framework since 2015 - the first regime of its kind in the US. NYDFS publishes lists of the entities it has authorized; if a platform soliciting you isn't on them and claims to serve New York, treat that as a red flag.
The New York Attorney General's office is one of the most aggressive state enforcers in crypto, using the state's broad securities-fraud powers to pursue exchanges, lenders and token issuers. A well-documented complaint from a New York victim carries real weight.
We prepare forensic reports and expert testimony to the standards of New York's state courts and its federal districts, and work with counsel on both plaintiff and defense matters involving digital assets.
