Georgia licenses money transmitters through the Department of Banking and Finance (O.C.G.A. § 7-1-680 to 7-1-698). The Department says the law's definitions include some forms of virtual currency transactions and that transmitting virtual currency is money transmission, so many crypto services, including most crypto kiosk operators, need a Georgia license. Licensing runs through NMLS.

Law, regulator, limits & sources

Sign-up gates and product limits (only where a company or regulator states them):

  • Kraken: Kraken does not serve Maine or New York residents. If you moved here from one of those states, Kraken asks for a Proof of Residence document for your new address. Source · Nov 3, 2026
  • Kraken: Onchain staking: Georgia is on Kraken's list of eligible states. Source · Nov 3, 2026

Not yet verified: License numbers are as listed on each company's own page; they were not cross-checked in NMLS Consumer Access (it blocked automated checks today). Crypto ATM (kiosk) limits are covered on our crypto ATM laws page, not here. Minimum age not verified for any platform.

"Not listed" means the company's own license page did not list a license for Georgia on the date shown. It does not mean the company is operating without authorization (it may rely on an exemption, a pending application, another affiliate, or no license may be required). Platforms are alphabetical; this is not a ranking. Informational, not legal advice.
