The money transmitter definition (6 O.S. section 1512(7)) covers accepting and transmitting currency or funds; a CVC exchange's fiat on/off ramp falls within this regardless of how virtual currency itself is treated. Digital asset kiosk operators face an explicit duty under 2025's Senate Bill 1083.

Virtual currency treatment
