After a seven-year absence, Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange in the United States, announced that it will resume cryptocurrency services to residents of Hawaii, the only U.S. state where the company does not operate. Coinbase said the return to Hawaii was due to changes in local regulatory guidance. Hawaii, which has about 1.4 million residents, can now trade cryptocurrencies and earn interest on holdings through staking. Coinbase withdrew from Hawaii in 2017 because of the requirement at the time that digital asset companies must hold a remittance license and maintain a fiat currency reserve equal to the total value of digital currency funds held by customers. This requirement was lifted at the end of June this year. (Bloomberg)
