The banking system in the United States consists of two regimes: a nationally regulated system and a state-regulated system. Many states have laws permitting the operation of a state-chartered trust company, a premier option for certain virtual currency businesses. New York, for example, issues charters for Limited Purpose Trust Companies allowing virtual currency companies to buy, sell, transmit, store and custody virtual currency on behalf of third-parties, including exchanging virtual currencies for fiat currencies, operate a virtual currency trading exchange, and issue virtual currency. Similarly, Wyoming offers a charter for Special Purpose Depository Institution permitting similar activities by virtual currency companies.
