Is kraken taking money in all States? Or just South Carolina which, I believe, is the only State they have a license in.

There are regulatory limits on fiat transactions in some US states. The list of approved states has never been one state long, and the expensive and time consuming, US-specific process of acquiring state-by-state licenses for the remainder is well underway. Overseas, in more logically regulated places such as Europe and parts of East Asia, there's no such barrier.
