Wyoming Cryptocurrency Bank

While one of the smallest of the United States by total population, Wyoming is undoubtedly the most progressive with respect to the adoption and regulation of blockchain technologies. Since 2014, Wyoming has passed fifteen specific articles of legislation aimed at making the state more attractive to blockchain-related companies. This fact, combined with the state’s attractive corporate structures, makes Wyoming the de-facto cryptocurrency capital of the United States.

Wyoming also offers minimal franchise taxes and zero tax on corporate income. When compared to traditional corporate strongholds such as Delaware and Nevada, Wyoming provides superior privacy protection. As a result, many international corporations choose Wyoming as its preferred jurisdiction to establish a U.S.-based subsidiary.

Most recently, Wyoming adopted a structure for cryptocurrency-friendly banking. The Special Purpose Banking Institution was created to fill a significant void in the blockchain space – the availability of reliable commercial banking. The first banking structure of its kind in the United States, the Wyoming cryptocurrency bank provide a unique opportunity to capture a truly untapped marketplace.
