I just saw the news that Jack Mallers' Strike has been granted a BitLicense in New York, as well as a money transfer license. That means from now on, New York residents can buy and sell Bitcoin directly on this platform, and they can even send their salary straight to Bitcoin. The cool thing is that users can also pay bills with Bitcoin or withdraw to their personal wallets.
According to Jack Mallers, this is a breakthrough that helps Strike expand Bitcoin financial services in one of the world's largest markets. But the limitation is that the BitLicense is only valid in New York; to operate across the entire U.S., they still need to obtain licenses in each state. Jack Mallers and Strike's progress is quite solid, but the road ahead is still long.
