Frequently asked questions
Which exchanges accept Apple Pay in Virginia?
Of the 8 exchanges serving Virginia, Kraken, Gemini accept Apple Pay for funding purchases.
Is buying bitcoin with Apple Pay legal in Virginia?
Bitcoin is legal in Virginia. The Bureau of Financial Institutions, part of the State Corporation Commission, supervises money transmission and has published a consumer notice on virtual currency explaining that crypto transactions involving U.S. dollars can fall within the state's money transmitter framework. That framework was overhauled by House Bill 1942, which replaced the longstanding money order sellers and money transmitters chapter with a modernized Chapter 19.1 of Title 6.2, effective July 1, 2026. Federal law, including FinCEN registration for exchanges, applies regardless.
