Morrisey Signs ‘Crypto ATM’ Regulation into Law
The law sets guardrails for crypto currency kiosks across the state of West Virginia
WASHINGTON, April 6, 2026 – As concern around frauds and scams has intensified as digital technology rapidly advances, some states have taken a closer look at regulating cryptocurrency
On Wednesday April 1, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey, R,, signed HB5353, a bipartisan state law that will bring crypto kiosks under the purview of “money transmission licensure” effectively putting it in line with other currency regulations enacted by states.
“These are commonsense measures focused on opportunity, safety, and making government work better for the people of West Virginia,” said Morrisey said in a statement. “We’re taking steps to grow our workforce, protect our communities, and ensure our state is prepared for the future.”
