About 11665 ATMs now available in the world

Coin ATM Radar has provided figures from its data warehouse to show the number of ATMs allowing crypto transactions have increased tremendously over the past 12 months. According to the data, the increase almost triples the number available at the same time last year.

At the beginning of the year, there were 6372 Crypto ATMs. As at press time, there are already 11665 ATMs deployed throughout the world. The number is surely going to increase as more ATMs are still being installed in different locations of the world.

According to the estimate from Coin ATM Radar, there is almost one ATM installed every one hour.

The U.S. is the top ATM installation destination, as the industry growth in the crypto sector has expanded more than in other economies. This year alone, Americans started with 4213 crypto ATMs, but there are over 9,000 ATMs in various locations from Tesla gigafactory to small shopping malls, according to Coin ATM Radar.

Unsurprisingly, the U.S. has about 79.2% of all Bitcoin ATMs in the world right now.

When it comes to European countries, the U.K. is leading the chase with about 268 ATMs while Hong Kong tops the Asian region with 62 Bitcoin ATMs.

For the Lain America’s Columbia takes the lead, with 40 ATMs, while South Africa leads in Africa with 6 installed Bitcoin ATMs.

Crypto industry in an upward trend
