Huobi reports that the MSB registration is under HBCoin Limited, a Delaware-based entity of Huobi Group. Administered by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under the U.S. Department of Treasury.
The MSB registration enables Huobi to operate as a dealer in foreign exchange and money transmitter in all of the states and territories within the United States. Individual states may however require additional approval processes for the provision of certain cryptocurrency-related services.
