Australia is witnessing a significant rise in the number of installed Bitcoin ATMs, reflecting global trends in cryptocurrency adoption.

Growth of Bitcoin ATMs in Australia

Data from Coin ATM Radar shows that for the past 29 months, Australia has consistently increased its count of Bitcoin ATMs. Currently, the country has 1,359 machines, making up 3.5% of the global tally. Australia ranks third after the United States and Canada in Bitcoin ATM numbers.

Global Distribution of Bitcoin ATMs

The United States remains the leading market for Bitcoin ATMs despite a challenging regulatory environment. The country hosts 31,516 Bitcoin ATMs, accounting for 81.3% of the world's total. Canada follows with 3,027 machines. North America has over 90% of all Bitcoin ATMs globally, while Europe and Oceania have about 4% each, and Asia has only 0.9%.

Rise of Bitcoin ATM Fraud

The increase in Bitcoin ATMs has led to more cases of fraud. The US Federal Trade Commission reported a rise in scammers using Bitcoin ATMs due to the anonymity and speed of crypto transactions. Losses from such scams exceeded $110 million in 2023. Legislators have called on ATM operators to step up anti-fraud measures.

The growth in Bitcoin ATMs highlights the increasing interest in cryptocurrencies, but also poses higher fraud risks, calling for attention from regulators.
