Explosion des installations d’ATM Bitcoin
Bitcoin ATMs also help democratize access to blockchain technology. By making it easier to buy Bitcoin, especially during a rally, these machines help educate and familiarize a new generation with the benefits of cryptocurrencies.
According to Coin ATM Radar, Bitcoin ATM installation has seen a remarkable increase these last months. In 2024, 2,564 new machines were deployed, contrasting sharply with the net loss of 2,861 ATM in 2023.
This impressive figure of 38,279 machines in operationbrushes against historic record of 39,541 ATM established in December 2022.
The leaders of this revolution, such as Bitcoin Depot, Coinflip, Coin Cloud, et Athena Bitcoindominate the market with 7,543, 5,057 and 2,756 machines respectively.
The figures illustrate this dynamic:
- 82% of ATMs are located in the United States.
- Canada follows with 7.7%.
- Booming Australia has grown to 1,107 machines, a 17-fold increase in two years.
- Europe maintains 1,584 ATM, but could soon be overtaken by Australia.
These Bitcoin ATMs offer a secure and fast alternative to traditional methods of purchasing cryptocurrencies. No more lengthy online procedures and endless verifications; with Bitcoin ATMs, everything is done in just a few clicks.
Ease of use and accessibility of these machines are the keys to their growing success.
Bitcoin: The flagship crypto of monetary transitions
The Bitcoinflagship crypto, remains by far the most traded cryptocurrency via these ATMs. Other cryptos like Bitcoin Cash, Ether and Litecoin are not far behind, but they do not reach the popularity of the queen of cryptocurrencies.
This trend is observed worldwide, from Spain (313 machines) to Poland (279), including smaller but active countries like El Salvador (215) and Hong Kong (169).
The overall impact is evident:
- 72 of the 193 countries recognized by the United Nations have at least one cryptocurrency ATM.
