S 775 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

"Virtual Currency and Blockchain Regulation Act."

This bill, the "Virtual Currency and Blockchain Regulation Act," establishes rules for regulating virtual currencies and blockchain tokens in New Jersey. It requires developers and sellers of "open blockchain tokens" to file a notice with the Department of Banking and Insurance before sale, pay a $1,000 fee, and ensure tokens are marketed for personal use (like purchasing goods or services) rather than as investments. Resellers (facilitators) must verify tokens meet these requirements and stop selling non-compliant tokens. The bill defines key terms to clarify which tokens fall under its rules, aiming to prevent fraudulent sales and protect consumers.
