Bitcoin in Vermont: the licensing picture

LegalMoney transmitter license (since 2017)State guide reviewed 2026-08-23

Bitcoin is legal in Vermont. The Department of Financial Regulation licenses money transmitters under the Money Services Act, 8 V.S.A. chapter 79, and a May 2017 amendment wrote virtual currency into the statute, putting platforms that store or transmit bitcoin for Vermonters on notice that they need a license. DFR has backed the requirement with enforcement, including a stipulation and consent order signed by the exchange Poloniex. Federal FinCEN registration applies to exchanges in every state.
