HB 1268 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Concerning virtual currency transaction kiosks.

HB 1268 regulates virtual currency transaction kiosks in Washington State by requiring operators to obtain a money transmission license, treating kiosk operations as money transmission under state law. It mandates clear disclosures to users about risks (including irreversible transactions, lack of government insurance, fraud vulnerabilities, and price volatility) displayed prominently before each transaction. The bill also requires licensees to create detailed winding-down plans for business closures, ensuring consumer funds are protected and accessible. These provisions directly affect kiosk businesses and consumers using virtual currency services in Washington.
