6 automation & keepers listed for the United States
In ChainChoice’s published ranking order, from this category’s 7 providers: those whose terms exclude the United States are removed; naming the United States or a region that covers it counts the same, and those whose terms do not state it come last. Each chip names the basis: a dated check, a region listing, or the provider's own claim.
#1 for the United StatesTukTuk (Helium)#1 globallyProvider states broad availability An open-source Solana crank protocol: the buyer posts a task with a per-crank SOL reward and any anonymous signer may execute it, so firing is time-only, but the executor set, the due-condition and the failed run are all public chain state — and a task can return its own successor, keeping a conditional loop entirely onchain.

Each cell is from the provider's own pages. ChainChoice does not read the state licence records on NMLS Consumer Access, and of the state registers reads only New York's (NYDFS); a gap shows "—", never an estimate.

Is using a crypto automation network legal in the United States?
Yes. Crypto automation & keepers are regulated in the United States by Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) + Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) + state regulators. Always verify a platform's licensing status with the state licence records on NMLS Consumer Access and, for New York, the NYDFS register before transacting.
How is crypto taxed in the United States?
Short-term gains (≤1y) taxed at ordinary income rates (10-37%). Long-term gains (>1y) taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20% depending on income. IRS Form 1099-DA reporting from 2026. Editorial summary, not tax advice: consult a qualified tax advisor in the United States before filing.
What payment methods work for buying crypto in the United States?
The most common rails for retail onramps in the United States are: ACH, Wire, Debit Card, Apple Pay.
Are international platforms (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) available in the United States?
Availability varies by platform and product. The United States has its own licensing regime under state money-transmitter licences and, in New York, a BitLicense or trust charter from NYDFS, and not every global platform is registered. The shortlist above removes platforms whose terms exclude the United States; the chip on each row says whether availability is verified, listed or unstated.
