NY Bitcoin Miners Start to Give Up on State Amid Regulatory Uncertainty

“All cryptocurrency companies have a permanent hold on starting businesses in New York due to the political and regulatory ambiguity. If the bill were to pass, New York would become a permanent afterthought for the industry,” said Kyle Schneps, director of public policy at Foundry, one of the largest miners in the U.S., which is based in Rochester, N.Y. Foundry is owned by CoinDesk’s parent company, Digital Currency Group.
