DOBI's page does not say whether crypto-only activity is covered. A bill for a separate digital asset license (A3454, 2026–2027 session) is introduced and pending; it is not law.

Not yet verified: License numbers are as listed on each company's own page; they were not cross-checked in NMLS (NMLS Consumer Access blocked our check on Nov 4, 2026). Pending bills (e.g. A3454 digital asset license, S2141 on crypto kiosks) are not law and are not reflected here. Minimum age not verified for any platform.

"Not listed" means the company's own license page did not list a license for New Jersey 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.
