Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept Apple Pay in Alabama?

Of the 8 exchanges serving Alabama, Kraken, Gemini accept Apple Pay for funding purchases.

Is buying bitcoin with Apple Pay legal in Alabama?

Bitcoin is legal in Alabama. The Alabama Securities Commission administers the Monetary Transmission Act, in force since August 2017, whose definitions are written broadly enough to cover virtual currency such as bitcoin, so custodial exchanges serving Alabamians hold a state monetary transmission license on top of federal FinCEN registration. Individual buyers and holders need no license of any kind.
