Frequently asked questions
Which exchanges accept PayPal in Vermont?
Of the 7 exchanges serving Vermont, Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini accept PayPal for funding purchases.
Is buying bitcoin with PayPal legal in Vermont?
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.
