LegalUniform Money Services Act license (ASD)State guide reviewed 2026-08-23

Bitcoin is legal in Arkansas. The Arkansas Securities Department administers the Uniform Money Services Act, which requires companies conducting money transmission for Arkansans to hold a state license, and the department applies that regime to custodial virtual currency businesses.
