# Why isn't Buy isn’t available in my state
## Buy isn’t available everywhere yet
In the United States, digital asset laws and licensing requirements are determined state by state. Each state has its own approach to how cryptocurrency services are regulated, which means different rules apply to both customers and companies offering these services.
**It may be restricted if:**
- Your state doesn’t support certain crypto services
- Regulations limit availability in your area
**What to know:**
- This isn’t related to your account
- Features can change over time
- The app will tell you if buy isn’t available in your state
