Hawaii’s new crypto-ATM law took effect Oct. 1, stopping kiosk operators from accepting U.S. currency in exchange for digital assets across the state.

The measure, House Bill 1642, targets the cash-to-crypto function of digital financial asset transaction kiosks.

Cash-to-crypto transactions at the kiosks are no longer allowed under the measure.

The law was approved by Hawaii Gov. Josh Green in July.
