Transak secures 6 new US state licenses as it expands stablecoin payments footprint

Transak’s latest licenses highlight the continued fragmentation of US state licensing as stablecoin payment firms push for nationwide access.

Stablecoin payment company Transak has secured new state Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs) in Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, South Carolina, Vermont and Pennsylvania, expanding its US footprint as regulatory fragmentation continues to define how crypto payment companies operate across the country, according to a Tuesday announcement shared with Cointelegraph.
