Can I stake crypto in my state?
Exchange staking availability for every US state, taken from each provider's help pages.
You can stake crypto in every US state, but not on every exchange. Coinbase and Robinhood block new staking in CA, MD, NJ and WI; Kraken only stakes in 37 states plus DC; Binance.US is unavailable in 12 states. Liquid staking tokens, staking ETFs and your own wallet work everywhere.
