Crypto Industry News:
The total number of Bitcoin ATMs (BTMs) around the world reached the threshold of 5,000 for the first time, as confirmed by CoinATMRadar.
According to the latest statistics, there are currently 5,006 standalone BTM in around 90 countries, where cryptocurrency users can buy or sell Bitcoins. Some machines offer both services at the same time. The data relates to the long-term growth period in the BTM sector, with the US leading the trend, as there are more and more locations and formats.
In June, a total of 150 installations were recorded, about 6 per day. General Bytes recently overtook Genesis Coin as the producer with the largest number of installed BTMs. The US currently has more than half of the world's BTM - 3229, with a new pilot program this month that takes machines to the Circle Circle stores in Arizona and Nevada.
Increasing competition in the BTM market is likely to reduce the fees charged to users, which are usually noticeably higher than internet alternatives.
