Bitcoin ATM installation spree

As an established player in the sector, Bitcoin depot is also leading the global installation of crypto ATMs. According to our previous report, 1,200 new Bitcoin ATMs were installed in August 2021, representing around 47 machines daily.  The growing popularity of cryptocurrencies has inspired the installation spree as some countries gear up to declare Bitcoin a legal tender, especially in South America. Players in the sector are now focusing on the region, with countries like Honduras recently receiving their first Bitcoin ATM. Furthermore, amid the crypto rally recorded early this year, leading Bitcoin ATMs firm Coin Cloud announced a plan to install an additional 8,000 machines worldwide by the end of 2021.
