Bitcoin in South Carolina: the licensing picture

LegalCrypto read as outside the transmission lawState guide reviewed 2026-08-23

Bitcoin is legal in South Carolina. Money transmission is regulated by the Attorney General's Money Services Division under the state's Anti-Money Laundering Act, in force since 2018, but the Division's December 2018 interpretive guidance treats virtual currency by itself as falling outside the definition of monetary value, so exchanges dealing purely in crypto need no South Carolina transmitter license. Transactions that also move fiat currency, such as some ATM operations covered by Administrative Order MSD-19003, can still require one.
