Florida HB 505, effective January 1, 2027, introduces regulatory requirements for cryptocurrency kiosks including mandatory registration, transaction caps ($2,000 new/$10,000 existing customers), blockchain analytics integration to block illicit wallets, and 72-hour refund guarantees for fraud reports. The law targets widespread scam activity that extracted $2.75M from Flagler County residents in two years.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Crypto founders operating kiosk networks or blockchain analytics providers must prepare for state-level compliance regimes; this Florida precedent will likely cascade across US jurisdictions and creates demand for regulatory-compliant distribution infrastructure and AML/transaction monitoring tooling.
