MTL required

Yes. The Nebraska Money Transmitters Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. Chapter 8, Article 27) requires a licence for money transmission, defined broadly enough to capture a CVC exchange with a fiat on/off ramp. Nebraska also offers a separate digital asset depository charter under the Financial Innovation Act, not required for this scenario.

Fiat treatment

Money transmission means selling or issuing payment instruments or stored value to a person in Nebraska, or receiving money for transmission from a person in Nebraska; it also expressly includes payroll processing and informal value transfer system services.

Virtual currency treatment

No express virtual currency definition. Monetary value is defined only as a medium of exchange whether or not redeemable in money, broad enough that the Department has not needed a separate virtual currency clause. Nebraska runs a distinct Crypto ATMs regulatory page and a Financial Innovation Act depository charter alongside the ordinary MTL path.
