Is buying bitcoin with ACH transfer legal in Iowa?
Bitcoin is legal in Iowa. The Iowa Division of Banking supervises money services businesses under Iowa Code chapter 533C, which was replaced by the Money Transmission Modernization Act via House File 675, effective July 1, 2023. The division's position is that virtual currency counts as monetary value, so receiving it for transmission in Iowa requires a money transmission license. Federal FinCEN and IRS obligations sit on top of the state regime.
