<a href="https://optimisus.com/market/market-news/us-district-judge-advises-coinbase-to-reconsider-subpoena-for-sec-chair-gensler/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase exchange</a> has just extended its services to the state of Hawaii, offering a diverse array of alternatives for managing digital assets to its people.Hawaii&#39;s Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Division of Financial Institutions (DFI) has implemented substantial regulatory changes that have created new opportunities for bitcoin firms in the state.\The strict rules in Hawaii have posed challenges for <a href="https://optimisus.com/news/crypto-news/coinbase-narrows-subpoena-for-sec-chair-genslers-emails-to-his-time-as-chair/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto exchanges</a> to operate in the region, especially due to the requirement for exchanges to hold cash reserves equivalent to the amount of digital assets held by consumers.Nevertheless, the Hawaii Digital Currency Innovation Lab pilot program has made recent modifications that have loosened these limitations, so enabling companies such as Coinbase to establish a presence in the state.Users now have the ability to participate in crypto staking, which allows them to earn a maximum annual percentage yield (APY) of 12% on specific digital assets. This represents a notable change for Hawaii, where there has been an increasing interest in crypto. However, the state&#39;s strict restrictions have hitherto restricted the prospects available.
