Adrienne Harris, Administrator of the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), reiterated her firm commitment to regulating the virtual currency space in New York.

NYDFS’ continued efforts to regulate cryptocurrency

Under Harris’ leadership, NYDFS’ regulatory efforts in the cryptocurrency sector have played a pivotal role. The department she led implemented an innovative two-year plan to strengthen oversight of virtual currencies.

This comprehensive effort includes creating updated guidance for cryptocurrency adoption or listing and establishing a framework for designating coins or tokens to the DFS Green List.

Appointed superintendent in August 2021 and confirmed by the state Senate in 2022, Harris has transformed the three-person cryptocurrency department into a team larger than an NFL football roster. According to Axios, Harris recently revealed at a policy summit hosted by the Blockchain Association in D.C. that the agency’s cryptocurrency department has grown to more than 60 people.

“It’s probably the largest cryptocurrency unit anywhere in the world,” she said.

Despite receiving significant criticism over the years, the agency maintains that its regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies aims to foster responsible growth in the industry while ensuring the highest standards of safety, soundness and consumer protection.

Harris emphasized the importance of this framework, emphasizing the department’s collaboration with regulators around the world to establish effective standards for the evolving virtual currency sector.

Harris also expressed her desire to expand the team further, saying she is “marching on the ground” to strengthen cryptocurrency regulation in the state.

DFS has issued eight regulatory guidelines covering aspects of stablecoins, market manipulation, blockchain analytics, and more. Harris emphasized the importance of practical rules, distinguishing between rules written on paper and those that are operationally effective.

Additionally, DFS recently amended its coin listing rules to require companies under New York’s BitLicense regime to establish a robust self-certification process for listing.

This change eliminates the need for approval for each token listing and introduces a delisting requirement inspired by Binance’s experience with its stablecoin BUSD.

Harris acknowledged the state’s proactive efforts to regulate stablecoins ahead of actions taken by various regulators.

Citing federal oversight of stablecoins and New York’s role, Harris emphasized her goal of being an impartial arbiter, saying DFS’ actions are nonpartisan and not taking sides.

Her statement demonstrated NYDFS’s substantive involvement in cryptocurrency regulation, which can be described as an innovative plan to strengthen the department’s leading oversight of the virtual currency environment in the United States.

Strengthening investor protection

In November 2022, under Harris’ leadership, NYDFS actively pursued greater regulation of the cryptocurrency industry by issuing digital asset guidance to state-regulated banks and specifying the information required before engaging in virtual currency-related activities.

This includes submitting a business plan detailing the impact of the proposed activities on capital, liquidity and relevant consumer protection policies. Chancellor Harris emphasized the important role these policies play in protecting consumer funds and keeping New York-regulated banks competitive in the cryptocurrency industry.

Separately, NYDFS introduced regulations for licensed cryptocurrency companies issuing stablecoins, mandating reserve requirements and monthly independent audits. The goal is to ensure that stablecoins are fully backed by reserves and can be redeemed by investors. There are specific requirements outlined for these reserves.

NYDFS has also implemented strict new guidelines for the listing and delisting of cryptocurrencies to enhance investor protection. Superintendent Harris emphasized the Department’s commitment to applying regulatory and operational capabilities to advance the industry to protect consumers and markets.

The updated guidance requires cryptocurrency companies to submit their coin listing and delisting policies for NYDFS approval under more stringent risk assessment standards.

These changes apply to all digital currency businesses licensed under New York rules, rules and regulations or limited purpose trust companies under the state’s banking laws.
