I'm wondering if it's legal to use or trade cryptocurrencies in the state of Oregon. Are there any specific regulations or restrictions that I should be aware of?

    According to the law, companies involved in the transfer of digital currency from one individual to another must obtain a license as money transmitters.

    However, there is an exception to this rule. Digital currency exchange companies that solely convert cash into digital currency do not need to obtain a license.

    This exemption is likely due to the nature of their services, which may be deemed less risky or complex compared to those that involve direct transfers between individuals.
