A: A) It’s not as much crypto registration as it is registering as a money maker with FinCEN. This is required in every state you move currency in, and it is very expensive.

B) I have clients that found banks in the past but those banks may not offer those services today. You’ll typically have better luck with smaller banks from my experience.
