Each cell is from the provider's own pages. ChainChoice does not read the state licence records on NMLS Consumer Access, and of the state registers reads only New York's (NYDFS); a gap shows "—", never an estimate.

Availability varies by platform and product. The United States has its own licensing regime under state money-transmitter licences and, in New York, a BitLicense or trust charter from NYDFS, and not every global platform is registered. The shortlist above removes platforms whose terms exclude the United States; the chip on each row says whether availability is verified, listed or unstated.
