Privacy coins in New Jersey

In New Jersey you can buy Zcash on all the major US exchanges. Monero is generally not available on regulated US platforms. A 2026 bill (A3454, the Digital Asset and Blockchain Technology Act) is pending in the legislature and could create a New York-style licensing regime if it passes, which would likely narrow exchange coin lists. Watch this bill if you trade less common tokens.

What to know

A3454 is not law yet. If it passes, expect some exchanges to tighten their New Jersey coin lists similar to how they handle New York today. If you buy less common tokens, watch this bill's progress. The April 2026 Kalshi ruling is about prediction markets, not crypto trading, but it signals federal preemption pressure on state-level crypto adjacent rules.

Regulatory detail

Federal US rules apply. NJ Bureau of Securities oversight. A3454 pending in 2026 session. Third Circuit ruling (April 6, 2026) in KalshiEX v. Flaherty preempts state gambling law for sports event contracts.
