Khurram Dara, a crypto lawyer and candidate for New York Attorney General, has publicly criticized the New York BitLicense regime as unlawful. In his first interview since launching his campaign, Dara asserted that the regulatory framework infringes on the economic rights of cryptocurrency firms attempting to operate and build within the state. Dara argues that the license is duplicative and was implemented without proper passage by the state legislature. He claims the regulations stifle innovation and hinder business development, effectively preventing crypto enterprises from establishing operations in New York. His platform centers on challenging this strict regulatory framework to protect the economic freedom of crypto builders. [Update 1] Additional reporting confirms Dara's stance that the regulations are a direct violation of economic rights and marks a significant political challenge to New York's established crypto policies.
