New York crypto ATM (bitcoin kiosk) law
Status: No kiosk-specific law
No enacted New York statewide crypto ATM / virtual-currency kiosk daily-limit or kiosk-consumer-protection statute found. The 2025–2026 bill A10899-C (same as S9891-B) would register and regulate crypto kiosks under a new Banking Law Article 2-AAA; the Assembly record shows it recommitted to the Rules Committee on May 29, 2026, not enacted. BitLicense (23 NYCRR Part 200) remains the primary virtual-currency business framework and is not a kiosk-limit statute. Pending bills are not law.
