Bitcoin in Pennsylvania: the licensing picture
Bitcoin is legal in Pennsylvania. The Department of Banking and Securities published guidance in January 2019 concluding that virtual currency was not money under the state's Money Transmitter Act, so crypto-only trading platforms needed no Pennsylvania license. An April 2024 policy statement reversed that interpretation, declaring that money includes virtual currency such as bitcoin, with an effective date of October 15, 2024. Exchanges serving Pennsylvanians now operate inside the state licensing regime, on top of the federal FinCEN registration that applied all along.
