Privacy coins in Minnesota
In Minnesota you can buy Zcash on all the major US exchanges. Monero is generally not available on regulated US platforms. Minnesota has been moving hard against physical crypto ATMs: St. Paul's city ban took effect December 21, 2025, and on April 9, 2026 the state Senate passed a statewide ban (SF 3868) which is now pending in the House. Online exchange buying is not affected.
