  As an expert in the field, I can tell you that in Washington state, the regulations and policies regarding digital currencies are quite strict. The Washington Uniform Money Services Act (UMSA) is the key law that governs digital currency activities, and it requires businesses engaged in money transmission, including digital currency exchanges, to obtain a license from the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions (DFI). The DFI has also issued guidelines on virtual currency activities, such as AML and KYC requirements. These regulations are in place to protect consumers and ensure the integrity of digital currency transactions. So, if you're planning to operate a digital currency exchange in Washington state, make sure to comply with the UMSA and the DFI's guidelines to avoid any legal issues.
