Bitcoin services provider Xapo has confirmed that it will no longer operate in the state of North Carolina.

The company, which recently moved its headquarters to Switzerland, cited state-level regulation as the decisive factor behind its decision.

Xapo is not the first company to cease operations in a part of the US amidst the development of regulation perceived to be onerous and potentially damaging to digital currency focused companies.

ShapeShift revealed plans to stop serving the New York market following the official launch of the BitLicense digital currency regulatory framework.
