Sorry, I should've specified that I'm a New Yorker:

"New York residents can no longer hold a balance of any cryptocurrency on Bitfinex.

Accordingly, NY residents will no longer have access to a number of features on Bitfinex.com:

Exchange: New York Residents cannot use any of the features in the “Exchange” tab on Bitfinex.com They cannot exchange USD for cryptocurrencies or vice versa.
