His proposal coincided with the installation of 860 new crypto ATMs in the US that same month.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"516\" data-end=\"811\">However, in the first three days of March, the global <strong>Bitcoin ATM network lost 1,100 machines<\/strong>, with the US accounting for 1,233 of those losses. According to<strong> Coin ATM Radar data<\/strong>, these losses were somewhat offset by new installations in <strong>Europe, Canada, Spain, Poland, Australia, and Switzerland.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"813\" data-end=\"900\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"US_Has_the_Worlds_Largest_Crypto_ATM_Network_But_Regulatory_Pressures_Slow_Growth\"><\/span>US Has the World\u2019s Largest Crypto ATM Network, But Regulatory Pressures Slow Growth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"902\" data-end=\"1190\">The US hosts the world\u2019s largest crypto ATM network, and the closures had a minor impact on the overall network. As of March 3, the US is home to <strong>29,731 crypto ATMs,<\/strong> representing 79.9% of the global total. Canada and Australia follow with 3,085 (8.3%) and 1,467 (3.9%) ATMs, respectively.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1192\" data-end=\"1246\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crypto_ATM_Growth_Stalls_Amid_Regulatory_Pressures\"><\/span>Crypto ATM Growth Stalls Amid Regulatory Pressures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1248\" data-end=\"1451\">Currently, there are <strong>37,226 active crypto ATMs<\/strong> worldwide. However, the growth of the crypto ATM ecosystem has stalled since mid-2022 due to evolving regulations and crackdowns on unregistered businesses.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"1680\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><strong>Durbin\u2019s proposed bill would require crypto ATM operators<\/strong> to warn users about scams to protect them from fraud.
