  4. A group of US Senate Democrats, led by Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin, has urged the largest crypto ATM operators to take immediate action to combat fraud and protect elderly citizens.

    Senators' Appeal

    On September 12, seven Democratic Senators, including Elizabeth Warren, cited Federal Trade Commission data noting that fraud losses from crypto ATMs reached $65 million in the first half of this year.

    Key Reasons

    Senators noted that criminals are targeting elderly citizens, with people aged 60 and older being three times more likely to report losing funds via crypto ATMs compared to younger adults. Letters to the CEOs of companies like Bitcoin Depot, CoinFlip, and RockItCoin called for measures to combat fraud.

    Further Actions

    Senators are asking for responses by October 4 regarding measures to warn about scams, transaction and deposit limits, and whether companies insure depositors against fraud. Previously, the FTC reported a tenfold increase in crypto ATM scams since 2020.

    With the rise of crypto ATM fraud, senators insist on immediate measures from operators to protect elderly citizens and prevent financial losses.
