Tennessee bans kiosks for virtual currency

Beginning July 1, 2026, Tennessee bans knowingly installing, allowing installation of, permitting, placing, or operating virtual currency kiosks. These machines exchange virtual currency for money, bank credit, or other virtual currency, including through a separate exchange. The ban covers operators and any other person, and violations are Class A misdemeanors. It applies to acts on or after that date and removes access to these kiosks in Tennessee.
