Frequently asked questions
Which exchanges accept Apple Pay in Massachusetts?
Of the 8 exchanges serving Massachusetts, Kraken, Gemini accept Apple Pay for funding purchases.
Is buying bitcoin with Apple Pay legal in Massachusetts?
Bitcoin is legal in Massachusetts. The Division of Banks long licensed only foreign transmittal agencies under MGL chapter 169, and its advisory opinions, including Opinion 22-002, found that exchanging virtual currency for fiat did not by itself trigger that license. Chapter 312 of the Acts of 2024 replaced the old regime with a comprehensive money transmission law, MGL chapter 169B, and the Division began licensing money transmitters under it on January 1, 2026. Federal registration and tax rules apply regardless.
