About
About Nevada Crypto
We are an independent research site covering one narrow subject properly: how people in Nevada actually buy, sell and cash out cryptocurrency, what it costs them, and what the rules are.
What this site is
Nevada Crypto covers a single state in depth rather than the whole country shallowly. Everything we publish is written for someone who lives here, visits here, or is moving here — because the practical answer to "how should I buy crypto" genuinely differs depending on whether you are in Summerlin, on Boulder Highway, or two hours from the nearest bank branch in Humboldt County.
At the time of writing the site covers 10 exchange reviews, 22 city guides, 6 county guides, a full set of Bitcoin ATM research and 20 how-to guides, plus a regulation section sourced to Nevada statute and the state's Financial Institutions Division.
Why Nevada specifically
Four things make this state genuinely distinctive, and no national guide covers them properly.
No state income tax. Nevada's constitution bars one, which means no state tax on crypto capital gains, staking rewards or mining income. That changes the arithmetic on holding periods and on relocation in ways that matter.
Unusual cash infrastructure. Nevada has some of the densest crypto-kiosk corridors in the western United States sitting alongside counties with no coverage at all — and that network contracted sharply in 2026 when the largest North American operator wound down.
A persistent myth about restrictions. Thousands of people in this state search every month for why they cannot buy crypto here. They can. The confusion traces almost entirely to one app's feature gap, and it deserved a proper explanation.
Gaming. You cannot gamble with crypto in Nevada, but several properties accept it for hotel and retail spending. That distinction generates more questions from visitors than anything else we publish.
Who writes it
The site is produced by a small research desk rather than by a named columnist, and everything is published under the site's name. We think that is the honest presentation: the work is checking licence registers, reading bankruptcy filings, pricing the same purchase across ten platforms and reading the statute — not personality.
Where a page contains an opinion rather than a fact, we mark it as our view and explain the reasoning. Where we do not know something, we say so rather than filling the gap. You will find several places on this site where the honest answer is "we could not confirm that".
How we work
We price the same purchase everywhere
Every exchange review is built around what a real Nevada buyer pays for the same transaction, through every funding route the platform offers.
We check licences on the public register
Not on marketing pages. Entity names go into NMLS Consumer Access and the FinCEN MSB register.
We source regulation to primary material
Nevada statute, the Financial Institutions Division, and federal agencies — not to other people's summaries.
We review the whole site quarterly
And update individual pages whenever something material changes: a licence status, a fee schedule, an operator failure, a legislative development.
Our full scoring method is on the methodology page, and our approach to corrections, sourcing and commercial relationships is on the editorial policy page.
How the site is funded
Some links on this site are partner links, and we may earn a commission if you open an account through one. That funds the research.
It does not affect what we write or where a platform ranks. Our scoring criteria are published, weighted and applied identically to every platform, including ones we have no relationship with. Several platforms we rank in the top five have no commercial relationship with us at all, and we criticise the pricing of platforms we do partner with — the CEX.IO review notes that its card pricing is worse than its spot pricing, and every exchange review on this site tells you to avoid the consumer buy button that generates most of the industry's revenue.
We have no relationship with any crypto kiosk operator, which is worth saying explicitly given how much of this site is about how expensive they are.
The full disclosure is on our editorial policy page.
What we will not publish
- Price predictions, targets or forecasts
- Recommendations to buy or sell any specific asset
- Anything presented as personalised financial, legal or tax advice
- Rankings influenced by commercial relationships
- Guaranteed-return claims of any kind, from anyone
- Invented experts, fabricated testimonials or made-up case studies
That last one deserves a note. A great deal of crypto content invents an authoritative persona to lend weight to generic material. We do not do that. Where this site refers to our own testing or observations, that is genuinely our own work; where a figure comes from somewhere else, we name the source.

We particularly want to hear about two things: factual errors, which we correct promptly and note on the page, and local information — a kiosk that has gone dark, a business that has started or stopped accepting crypto, a fee that has changed. Nevada is a big state and we cannot be everywhere in it.
The one thing we would tell every Nevada reader
Open an account on a licensed platform before you need one. Almost every expensive mistake we write about — the kiosk at sixteen per cent, the panic purchase, the scam completed under time pressure — happens to somebody who had not done the boring setup in advance.
Partner link. Digital assets are volatile and are not FDIC- or SIPC-insured. Nevada Crypto does not give investment advice.
