State sequencing optimiser

Pick a strategy and get an ordered list of states with rationale, docs-reuse notes and NY exposure.

Strategy Fastest authorisation path
Prefer shorter timelines and greener posture. Lowest cost path
Prefer lower application fees and surety bands. Maximum population coverage
Prioritise largest population-weight states first. B2B / enterprise-first
Prefer clearer commercial corridors; de-prioritise retail-heavy complex states early. Crypto-first
Prefer states with clearer virtual currency treatment; surface NY exposure separately. Remittance / payments-first
Prefer standard MTL corridors and MTMA adopters.

Exclude New York from the sequence

Maximum population coverage

Under "Maximum population coverage", the first 8 jurisdictions cover ~47.1% of modelled population weight. Order is a planning signal from published bands, not a filing plan.

New York appears in the ranked set. Treat BitLicense / trust / partner / skip as a parallel decision, not only a state MTL row.

Sequencing is a deterministic planning model over LicenceMap US data. It is not legal advice and not a recommendation to apply in any order.

Showing 5 of 8

1. California (CA) red
- Population weight 11.40%
- Docs reuse: Partial MTMA: reuse core BSA/AML pack; rework statute-specific exhibits.
- Timeline band ~9 months
2. Texas (TX) amber
- Population weight 9.18%
- Docs reuse: MTMA-aligned statute: policy pack and control-person package often reusable with light localisation.
- Timeline band ~6.5 months
3. Florida (FL) green
- Population weight 6.79%
- Docs reuse: Legacy or special regime: expect heavier localisation of application narrative.
- Timeline band ~4 months
4. New York (NY) red NY exposure
- Population weight 5.79%
- Docs reuse: Legacy or special regime: expect heavier localisation of application narrative.
- Timeline band ~18 months
5. Georgia (GA) green
- Population weight 3.27%
- Docs reuse: Partial MTMA: reuse core BSA/AML pack; rework statute-specific exhibits.
- Timeline band ~3 months
