Could you elaborate on the current stance of Hawaii towards cryptocurrency companies looking to establish operations within the state? Are there any specific regulations or laws in place that govern the operations of such businesses? Are there any known examples of cryptocurrency companies that have successfully set up shop in Hawaii, and if so, what challenges did they face during the process? Additionally, are there any plans or discussions underway in Hawaii's legislative or regulatory bodies that could potentially impact the future of cryptocurrency companies in the state?
