Absence is based on search results and NCSL trackers only; an agency-level or executive-order group could have been missed.

Licensing Reported
SB 86 (Ch. 48 SLA 26), signed June 30, 2026, replaces Alaska's money transmission statutes with a modernized act (House companion HB 99) that brings virtual currency exchange and virtual currency business activity within licensing, allows licensing through NMLS, and requires disclosures and customer-asset safeguards. Effective date not stated in sources. Based on law-firm summaries, not the session law.
