The total number of crypto ATMs grew significantly since 2015, reaching an all-time high in October 2021 of nearly 30.000 crypto ATMs worldwide. And it does not look like it is going to stop any time soon. Cash and crypto are adjacent alternatives, and these cash-to-crypto exchange networks of ATMs extend many of the same benefits that physical cash exhibits.
There are two main types of crypto ATMs: the basic ones that allow only to buy crypto, and the more complex models that allow users also to sell their crypto assets. The leading manufacturers of crypto ATMs are Genesis Coin (34%) and General Bytes(30%). As expected, over 60% (~18.000 machines) of the total crypto ATMs globally are located in the United States, followed by Canada with close to 1% (more than 2.000 machines). The rest are spread all around the world.
Crypto ATMs and Romania: 4th in Europe
Romania has one of the highest numbers of operating crypto ATM machines in Europe. There are almost 100 bitcoin ATMs in Romania, according to the latest data from CoinATMRadar. At the moment, Romania ranks in the top 10 globally, as 4th in Europe.
