Does digital currency transmission require a money transmitter license?

In response to emerging digital currencies such as Bitcoin, states have started to consider changes in state statutory language impacting cryptocurrency or digital currency transmission and its placement within “stored value” or “money transmission” statutory definitions.  Many states are moving towards the inclusion of this form of currency within money transmission license requirements.
