What counts as a BitLicense in New York?

New York requires a BitLicense or a limited purpose trust charter for virtual currency business activity with NY residents. The DFS publishes which entities are authorized.

Does being licensed guarantee I can use the app in New York?

Not necessarily. Licensing allows an entity to operate, but each platform decides which features and assets to offer to NY customers at any given time.
