It's a very difficult process, I will not to tell you to many details, you can google it or see by this link. But the general you should know that:
"Money Transmitter License Cost — Generally the number is between US$ 1.0–1.5 Million. The time period to acquire all the licensed can be approximately two years."

- You need a lot of money
- You need a lot of time
What you should know about BitLicense
It's a very difficult process too. You can read some reviews about BitLicense applying by this link. For example:
"Applying for the BitLicense is an expensive and difficult process, as many have noted. Some other firms have chosen to abandon the New York market entirely, rather than comply. We do not fault them for doing so," said George Frost, executive VP and chief legal officer at Bitstamp.

“
In its current form, the requirements set forth by the BitLicense are extremely invasive and would compromise the majority of our user base's privacy. For this reason, among others, we have decided to "opt-out" of serving NY residents.
So, we understand, that Helbiz going in by the more legal way that Bitfinex. And you know, last news Bitfinex get 1 billion USD on pre-sale LEO token.
As result, Helbiz token price should be more, that Bitfinex token price.
As result, Helbiz token price should be more, that Bitfinex token price.

In the 2016 year, Ripple got BitLicense. Wikipedia says:
"On June 13, 2016, Ripple obtained a virtual currency license from the New York State Department of Financial Services, making it the fourth company with a BitLicense"
