Frequently asked questions
Which exchanges accept Google Pay in Louisiana?
Of the 7 exchanges serving Louisiana, Kraken, Gemini accept Google Pay for funding purchases.
Is buying bitcoin with Google Pay legal in Louisiana?
Bitcoin is legal in Louisiana. The state regulates exchanges through the Virtual Currency Businesses Act (La. R.S. 6:1381 and following), enacted in 2020 and administered by the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions: companies doing virtual currency business with residents need a Virtual Currency Business License, while a company whose annual Louisiana volume stays below $35,000 may file a limited activity registration with OFI instead of licensing. Federal rules, including FinCEN registration for money services businesses, apply on top.
