Global crypto ATM count falls to 27,358, lowest since 2021

The global number of crypto ATMs dropped to 27,358, back to levels last seen in 2021, with 587 machines removed since July 8 — 476 of them in the United States. The US still accounts for 71.4% of the global total, followed by Canada at 13.5%, Oceania at 7% and Europe at 5.6%; the US, Canada and Australia together hold about 91%. Since 2023, 35 US states have passed legislation covering crypto ATMs and self-service terminals, with Indiana, Tennessee and Minnesota banning the devices and Vermont extending a moratorium on new installations.

AI take

The decline is concentrated in the US, and the state-level picture explains why: a growing number of jurisdictions have moved from regulating crypto ATMs to banning or freezing new installations outright. That shifts the geography of cash-to-crypto access away from the market that has dominated it, even as the US retains the overwhelming share of remaining machines. The open question is whether the pullback is a regulatory effect or a demand signal, since the headline count alone cannot separate the two.
