As one of the quickest and most convenient ways to transfer physical cash into Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin AMTs continued their impressive growth in 2021.

According to data presented by Trading Platforms, the total number of Bitcoin ATMs surged by 70% in the last six months and hit 16,500 last week.

Bitcoin ATMs, also known as BTMs, enables users with quick access to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Developed countries like the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom hold the biggest number of BTMs. However, they also became very popular in countries with volatile financial markets whose citizens require a quick exchange of an official currency for a digital asset not regulated by the government.

In December 2017, there were 1,948 BTMs worldwide, revealed Coin ATM Radar and Statista data. In the next twelve months, another 1,953 crypto ATMs were installed worldwide, with the total number jumping over 4,000 in December 2018.

The number of Bitcoin ATMs operating around the world continued growing and hit 6,036 in December 2019, a 1,926 increase in a year.

However, 2020 witnessed an explosive growth of BTMs. Statistics indicate the number of ATMs supporting digital coins doubled and jumped to 12,735 in December last year.

The increasing trend continued in 2021, with almost 2,600 new BTMs installed since January, more than in the entire 2019.

Analyzed by geography, the United States represents the leading crypto ATM market, with 84% of all Bitcoin ATMs globally. The Coin ATM Radar data also revealed the number of BTMs operating in the United States surged by 85% in the last six months.

In September 2020, US citizens could use 7,567 crypto ATMs all around the country. This figure jumped to almost 14,000 in March.

As the second-largest BTM market globally, Canada also witnessed impressive growth in the number of BTMs, with the figure jumping from 866 in September to 1,275 last week.

The CoinATM data also revealed that the United Kingdom is the only one among the top three markets which has witnessed a downsizing trend. The number of crypto ATMs in the UK plunged by 25% in the last six months, landing at 195 in March. Austria, Spain, and Poland follow, with 154, 121, and 107 BTMs, respectively.

Statistics also show Genesis Coin still tops the list of largest Bitcoin ATM manufacturers, with a 38% market share and 6,346 BTMs operating worldwide as of March. General Bytes ranked as the second-largest manufacturer in the world with a 27% market share and 4,512 BTMs. BitAccess and Coinsource follow with 1,578 and 1,214 crypto ATMs, respectively.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The number of Bitcoin ATMs in the world has nearly doubled from the same time last year, hitting nearly 17,000 units.

The cumulative number of Bitcoin ATMs in the world is 16,966.

In 2021, the number of Bitcoin ATMs rose by more than 20%, marking a significant spike alongside the price rebound. The spike comes as Bitcoin is only a few thousand dollars short of its all-time peak of about $61,000.

Net change of cryptocurrency machines number installed: Coin ATM Radar

Data from Coin ATM Radar indicate a significant increase in Q1 2021, especially in North America. The cumulative number of Bitcoin ATMs in the world has grown to 16,966, nearly 2.5 times the number at the start of 2020.

Crypto ATM distribution by continents and countries: Coin ATM Radar

The United States accounts for more than 80% of all Bitcoin ATMs, but statistics show that it is still increasing in Europe. Genesis Coin is the biggest Bitcoin ATM producer, accounting for 38% of the market. General Bytes comes in second with a market share of 27%.

Although Bitcoin ATMs are easy and encourage anybody to buy the commodity, they have a downside in that they charge reasonably high fees. However, the rising amount shows that there is a market for it, which can only assist with adoption. Users can buy them with both debit and credit cards.

Unsurprisingly, the rise in ATMs correlates with the market’s latest boom, which has seen Bitcoin reach $61,000. In only a few months, the top currency in the crypto industry has raised tens of thousands of dollars. It seems that BTC will stay well above the $20,000 all-time record that it was attempting to crack last year.

This sets it on track to hit the expectations set by analysts at major banks such as JPMorgan Chase and Citibank. The former set a price of $146,000, while Citibank set a target price of more than $300,000 by 2023. Investors such as Tim Draper expect it will meet comparable values, with Draper predicting that it will reach $250,000 by 2023.

Around the same time, policymakers around the world are discussing how to control this novel asset class. Some nations, such as South Korea, are focusing on prohibiting privacy coins in order to deter money laundering and terrorist funding, while India is proposing a complete ban on private cryptocurrencies.

A leader at the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority spotlighted the country's recent anti-money laundering work (AML) in a recent speech.

In a speech delivered on March 24 but publicized on April 1, Mark Steward cited cryptocurrency as a key emerging risk to AML controls. Steward heads the FCA's Enforcement and Market Oversight division. In January, the FCA formally took charge of AML in crypto businesses.

Part of the FCA's response has been to create a new version of its Warning List specifically for crypto businesses. The "Unregistered Cryptoasset Businesses" list, which began on March 9, has grown in size since its inception. In his speech, Steward specified:

"We placed the first names on the Unregistered Cryptocurrency Businesses List earlier this month, all crypto ATM firms, and we have just added 29 crypto custodian wallet providers to the list."

As previously reported by The Block, crypto firms in the UK have endeavored to meet compliance demands in the UK since the beginning of the year. At its heart, the unregistered business list aims to penalize firms that fail to obtain registration.

Steward said of the FCA's role that "we do not regulate or supervise the cryptocurrency business, these firms are required to be registered with the FCA and they are required to comply with the Money Laundering Regulations."

The FCA's current UCB list includes 53 companies. Curiously, the list features more than a dozen firms registered to just two addresses. 20-22 Wenlock Road, London and Kemp House 152-160 City Road, London were the formal home of nine and five crypto businesses, respectively, included on the FCA list. Those addresses belong to two corporate formation firms, MadeSimple and Capital Office.

To buy Bitcoin using an ATM, get the Bitcoin ATM to scan your wallet’s QR code. After this, enter how much fiat currency you’re going to put into the machine. Then, fill out any ID check (if there is one), which may involve sending a security code to your phone. Put in the security code to complete the transaction; the Bitcoin will usually end up in your wallet in ten minutes. To sell Bitcoin, do much the same, but hit “sell” instead of “buy.”

There are a number of different websites for finding a Bitcoin ATM. One of the leading options is CoinATMRadar, which works by inputting an address then generating a list of the nearest ATMs. It lists some of the fees of each ATM, as well as the cryptocurrencies that the ATM supports. The site also features reviews of ATMs, although a significant number have no review data.

Bitcoin.com has its own ATM map. It’s powered by CoinATMRadar and it presents the results in a more user-friendly map format; the site also tells you whether an ATM is open at all hours, and which crypto and fiat currencies it supports.

Unfortunately, the map isn’t searchable, like Google Maps; instead, you’ll have to zoom in on different areas of the world to see how many Bitcoin ATMs are located in each region.

CoinMap.org also provides results showing Bitcoin ATMs (as well as brick-and-mortar businesses that support purchasing with crypto).

However, as the above example shows, there are discrepancies between the different Bitcoin ATM maps. Some ATMs that appear on CoinMap.org aren’t listed on Bitcoin.com’s CoinATMRadar, and vice versa. That means there’s no one authoritative list of Bitcoin ATMs; you may need to consult multiple maps in order to track down an ATM near you.

Several of the leading Bitcoin ATM firms provide maps showing the location of their own ATMs. CoinSource provides its own ATM map, as does atmcoiners.com. However, these services are more limited since they only show the individual companies’ own ATMs.

There are several mobile apps for locating Bitcoin ATMs, too. Perhaps the most popular is CoinATMRadar, which is available on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. You can share your location with the app to find the nearest ATM. It’s similar to the website: the app also details whether the ATM is uni or bi-directional, as well as supported cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies. It works well, although you have to download data for each individual country.

Bitmap (listed as Bitmapp on the Apple App Store) is its main competitor. It has over 10,000 downloads on the Google Play Store, but Decrypt found it a lot buggier than CoinATMRadar. The app frequently broke, citing a bad Internet connection, even when the phone used was connected to the Internet. Bitcoin.com doesn’t let you search for Bitcoin ATMs in its app, so CoinATMRadar appears the better choice.

A teenager who’s responsible for taking over many high-profile Twitter accounts, as part of a huge Bitcoin scam last year, has now agreed to serve 3 years in prison in a plea deal.

Graham Clark, 18, has confirmed that he’ll be pleading guilty to State fraud charges for using the hacked social media accounts of prominent people in order to solicit over $100,000 in Bitcoin during the summer months of 2020.

Clark says he has agreed to spend 3 years behind bars, which will be followed by another 3 years of probation, The Tampa Bay Times confirmed on Monday (March 15, 2021).

As part of the plea deal, Clark will receive a more lenient “youthful offender” sentence. While he will not be permitted to use computers without the supervision of law enforcement, he could be eligible or qualify to serve part of his sentence at a military-style boot camp.

In July of last year, there were several high-profile Twitter accounts — including those belonging to tech giant Apple, billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and US President Joe Biden — that had been sharing messages requesting that Bitcoin be sent to a certain crypto address. As usual, the hacker had promised that the users would receive twice the amount back (which never happened of course).

Police officials have now taken Clark into custody on accusations that he allegedly hacked the social media accounts to orchestrate the Bitcoin scam. At the time when the fraudulent scheme was carried out, Clark was only 17 years of age. Two other people, Nima Fazeli of Orlando and Mason Sheppard, have been charged with federal crimes that are also related to the crypto scam.

In order to break into these accounts, Clark had used various social engineering tactics in order to convince Twitter workers to give him administrative access to tools that were used to reset email addresses linked to high-profile or widely-followed Twitter accounts.

Case prosecutors had charged Clark in State court because state law is more flexible when it comes to charging minors as adults for serious offenses, The Tampa Bay Times confirmed.

Ever since Bitcoin created a new record, the popular cryptocurrency is in great demand. As the cryptocurrency continues to gain mainstream adoption, it is essential to make it more accessible to anyone who wishes to buy into the ongoing financial revolution. Currently, the majority of Bitcoin purchases happen on online exchange and trading platforms, which prevents many from taking a plunge into the cryptocurrencies due to apprehensions about the trustworthiness of these platforms.

Bitcoin ATMs are a familiar solution to the abovementioned problem, which makes it easier for the general public to purchase the cryptocurrency. Somewhat similar to regular ATMs, these machines are physically accessible and easy to operate, making them ideal for those who are not sure about using online platforms. Even those who are familiar with cryptocurrencies also find such machines in strategic locations useful to meet the crypto needs.

However, there aren’t many Bitcoin ATMs to be found across the world. But this is soon going to change as Bitcoin of America is striving to ensure that each town in every state of the USA gets at least one Bitcoin ATM. At present, Bitcoin of America has set up a network of over 600 Bitcoin ATMs across the United States. The number is expected to surge as it continues to expand the network at a rapid pace by adding 100-150 new machines every month.

Bitcoin of America ATMs are conveniently placed in local businesses that people frequently visit. These machines are set within a familiar setting, creating an atmosphere of trust for those willing to purchase bitcoin through a FinCEN registered platform. The program also helps these businesses earn additional revenue by sharing transaction fees on bitcoin purchases. In return, they just have to provide some space for the machine along with electricity and internet connection.

Apart from the Bitcoin ATMs, the Bitcoin of America Host program also has portable Bitcoin Tablets, to be handed out to partners who may not have adequate space to accommodate a bulky machine.

Bitcoin of America also offers a mobile wallet app to buy, sell and store their crypto assets.

TL:DR Breakdown:

The number of Bitcoin ATMs has surpassed 13,000 globally, according to the information provided by the tracking platform, Coin ATM Radar. Since 2020, there has been a surge in the installation of these machines around the world, more than in previous years. Judging by this, it’s worth mentioning that the increase in cryptocurrency ATMs corresponds to the developments and growth of the industry in every proceeding year. 

Following the information on Coin ATM Radar, there are currently 13,020 Bitcoin ATMs available for use around the world. Interestingly, more than half of these machines were installed this year alone. At the beginning of the year, there were only 6,374 digital currency ATMs installed globally. In comparison with the current record, the number of these machines is up by 104 percent (an addition of 6,646 crypto machines since this year).

Most of these machines are located in the United States. About 10,807 Bitcoin ATMs exist in the US, as the country has been topping the list for years now. This is quite understandable, given that the country arguably holds developments, companies, and adoption rate in the entire digital currency space. The second-largest country with crypto ATMs in Canada. There are currently 1,054 of these machines available in the country. 

Other countries with three-digit numbers include the United Kingdom (248), Austria (146), Spain (115), and Switzerland (101).

Simply put, crypto ATMs allow crypto-to-fiat conversion, and more installation means the digital currency is becoming more accessible and set for mainstream adoption.

The number of Bitcoin ATMs in the US has exploded over the past year. In fact, despite having been in existence for several years, there are now 171% more bitcoin ATMs in the US than there were just 12 months ago.

According to CoinAtmRadar.com, there were 4,948 Bitcoin ATMs across the US on March 1st, 2020, and 13,451 on March 1st, 2021, almost three times as many. They also appear to have grown even further, as there are now 376 more bitcoin ATMs than there were on March 1st.

Taking the global figures as a whole, they have risen from 7,134 on March 1st, 2020 to 16,664 today, with more than 80% located in the USA. 

In Europe, the growth has been much less significant, because if a year ago there were 1,223, today there are only 1,253, i.e. an insignificant growth.

Actually, Canada, with its 37 million inhabitants, is likely to oust the whole of Europe from second place, with its 1,238 bitcoin ATMs, up 72% in one year.

In some European countries, the number is actually falling, such as in the UK, where it has dropped from 282 to 184 in the last 12 months.

In other words, the US and Canada are the two most important markets in the world for this kind of service, which is in fact the only free, public and secure way to buy and sell cryptocurrencies using paper banknotes.

It cannot be ruled out that the success of crypto ATMs in the US is a consequence of the government and central bank’s monetary stimulus as a response to the pandemic, as there has been a strong growth in new ATM installations in the US since February 2020. 

Until January 2020, they had never increased by more than 300 units per month, and since February they have never fallen below this threshold again. On the contrary, there was a further acceleration in October, with almost 1,000 new installations, while the highest peak of new monthly installations per hour occurred precisely in the last month, with 1,123 ATMs more than the previous month’s overall total. 

In fact, it is well known that many Americans who have received the dollar cheque from the anti-Covid monetary stimulus are investing part or even all of it in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, and crypto ATMs can be a quick way to buy, even without a verified account on an exchange. 

Let’s not forget that these devices often only offer cryptocurrency purchasing functions, while only some of them also provide the possibility to sell cryptocurrencies.

If central banks in other parts of the world, such as the eurozone, were to opt for similar monetary stimuli, the demand for crypto ATMs could start to grow.

As cryptocurrencies continue expanding all over the world, it is necessary to have a clear guide on how to buy Bitcoin. BTC has reached massively high levels in recent months and the bull market seems far from being over. 

If you already know how to buy Bitcoin (BTC), then you should also know which are the top 3 ways to get access to the largest cryptocurrency in the market. 

The next sections will help you understand which are the easiest ways to get access to Bitcoin. There are three main methods: through exchanges, through P2P networks or in person, and using Bitcoin ATMs. 

The easiest and fastest way to buy Bitcoin is through exchanges. These are online platforms that allow users to buy and sell Bitcoin and other virtual currencies. Exchanges have several on-ramp solutions to buy Bitcoin using fiat currencies. 

For example, Binance and Coinbase are two of the most popular platforms to buy Bitcoin worldwide. Buybitcoinsmart is offering information about the best exchanges online and valuable information on how to register on these platforms. 

Depending on the region you are located in, there will be different platforms you can use. Some of them would even allow you to buy Bitcoin using your local currency. In this way, you would not only be able to buy Bitcoin but also trade digital assets. 

Moreover, exchanges are also offering other services to clients. As the crypto market continues expanding, these platforms are adding new features for users. For example, staking PoS digital assets or lending their funds to earn rewards on a regular basis.

Another way to get access to Bitcoin is by buying it from others. Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have also been one of the easiest ways to acquire BTC in developing countries. This works by sending funds to the account of another person and receiving BTC on your wallet. 

You should also be aware that some platforms work without escrow. This is certainly important to avoid being scammed. You should never send money or BTC if you didn’t receive your funds. Moreover, using escrow platforms is the best way to avoid unwanted issues and problems. 

At the same time, in the past, it was common to buy Bitcoin from other users in BTC events. These in-person purchases became somehow dangerous as you do not know the person you are going to talk to and exchange Bitcoin with. 

Bitcoin ATMs are also a great alternative method to purchase Bitcoin. If you do not know how to buy Bitcoin, then using a Bitcoin ATM could be a very good option. Bitcoin ATMs look like traditional ATMs with the main difference that you would be buying – and sometimes selling – Bitcoin. 

ATMs are usually located in most of the largest cities around the world. Most of them are in shopping centres or in places that gather lots of people. The only negative thing about crypto and Bitcoin ATMs is related to the fees. 

ATMs have usually higher fees than traditional exchanges. However, they are very useful for those that want to buy or sell Bitcoin in just seconds. Moreover, you can pay with cash and receive banknotes if you sold your BTC at the ATM machine. 

It is up to you to decide which is the method you prefer to buy and sell Bitcoin.
