NY Approves New Virtual Currency Exchange
New York State has approved regulations allowing a new virtual currency called Ether.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, and the state’s Department of Financial Services announced the move Thursday. The regulations will govern the new virtual exchange, called Ethereum, in which customers can buy and sell the new currency.

The exchange will be operated by Gemini Trust Company LLC, which was founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.
New York is the first state to authorize the new currency.
