Overview
Our custodian was notified that they must pause activity while they undergo their Texas Money Transmission License (MTL). As such, Bitcoin purchasing was paused for Texas residents on January 31st, 2023.
Normal operations will resume as soon as this license is renewed or we complete integrations with additional partners. To sign up for early access to purchasing again in Texas through BitGo, click here.
As a reminder, your funds will remain available to withdraw regardless of this license renewal process.
Do I need to do anything about it right now?
