Kansas
Bitcoin States
Kansas passed SB 315 in 2024, modernizing its money transmission laws to provide clearer regulatory treatment of virtual currency businesses including Bitcoin exchanges and custodians. The legislation aligns Kansas with the Uniform Money Transmission Modernization Act (UMTMA) framework, reducing regulatory uncertainty for Bitcoin businesses operating in the state. Kansas also has no state income tax on capital gains from certain types of investments, making it relatively favorable for long-term Bitcoin holders.
