TL;DR Breakdown
- Bitcoin ATM number doubles since January.
- Rise in crypto price prompt increase in number of crypto ATMs.
- Genesis coin leads as number one ATM manufacturer.
According to data by the crypto ATM monitoring site Coin ATM radar, the number of Bitcoin ATMs scattered around the globe has doubled since January 2021.
The monitoring platform pegs the total number of Bitcoin ATMs globally at 30,000 scattered in over 70 countries. Reportedly, the surge is a result of the rise in crypto prices experienced in 2021.
Coin ATM Radar reports that as at January 2021, 14,016 registered locations were supporting automated teller services for leading cryptocurrencies. As of Oct. 27, the number has hit a staggering 30,011.
The machines are spread across countries and operated by 628 operators, according to the tracking website. The United States leads with more than 26,000 locations, while neighboring Canada has a little less than 2,000, and the whole European Union hosts only 1,353.
Unfortunately, in certain areas, despite the rise in global crypto ATM number, its number has dropped in some other major markets such as Austria, from this year’s high of 156 in June to 140 now, and the UK, which saw a dramatic fall from 229 on Jan. 1 to 98 as of Wednesday.
