There Are Now More Than 5,000 Bitcoin ATMs Around the World


The total number of bitcoin ATMs (BTMs) worldwide reached 5,000 for the first time, monitoring resource CoinATMRadar confirmed on June 24.

According to the latest statistics, there are now 5,006 standalone BTMs in around 90 countries, where cryptocurrency users can buy or sell bitcoin (BTC). Some machines offer both services simultaneously.

The data caps a protracted period of growth in the BTM sector, with the U.S. leading the trend as more and more locations and formats appear.

June has seen a total of 150 installations, around 6 per day. General Bytes recently overtook Genesis Coin as the manufacturer with the largest number of BTMs installed.
As Cointelegraph reported, in 2019, it is not just the ‘classic’ BTM model which is expanding, but other methods of procuring BTC. A deal earlier in the year involving coin counting kiosk operator Coinstar brought bitcoin functionality to over 2,200 U.S. locations.

The U.S. currently has more than half of the world’s BTMs at 3,229, with a new pilot scheme this month bringing the machines to Circle K convenience stores in Arizona and Nevada.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with a respected organization like Circle K,” Marc Grens, president and co-founder of cryptocurrency provider DigitalMint said in a press release issued June 20.

“This partnership opens the door for massive expansion of Bitcoin access to new markets around the globe.”
Increasing competition in the BTM market is likely to reduce the fees charged to users, which tend to be noticeably higher than online alternatives.

Other in-person options, such as buying vouchers, are also gaining popularity with users keen on avoiding burdensome identity requirements.

The U.S. remains easily the largest market for the machines as competition for new bitcoin on-ramps continues to heat up.

Trading ICO Tokens: A Beginner’s Guide
For a while now, there’s been an uncertainty around the tradability of ICOs. Not many people are aware that trading ICOs on exchanges is entirely possible. And even from people who do know that ICOs can be traded, many are uncertain about how it’s done.

If you’re one of such people, just know that you’re definitely not alone. While the ICO industry largely remains free of regulations, listed tokens are still subject to the respective exchange’s regulatory framework. In other words, an ICO token is subject to a certain section of the law once it’s listed on a regulated exchange.
Over the course of this article, we’ll show you how ICO tokens can be traded using exchanges and how you can turn your cryptocurrency into dollars after trading on an exchange.
How ICO Tokens Can be Traded Using Exchanges
Let’s assume for a minute that an ICO has completed all its stages – the white paper was created, the required funds were raised, and the ICO process was finally closed with the required funds amount. When all these requirements are fulfilled, an ICO is deemed a success.
But what happens next? How to trade the tokens now? Let us explain…
After the closure of an ICO, the next step is listing the token on an exchange. As the token listing process ends, the trading process begins. Similar to cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Bitcoin, an ICO token is traded with its name and specific trading pairs. For instance, a token is listed with the name ABC. This token’s trading pairs can include Ripple, Ethereum, Bitcoin and more.
To trade ABC, you just choose the pair you prefer on the exchange. It could be BTC/ABC or XRP/ABC – you get the idea.
Converting Your Tokens into USD
When it comes to exchanging your ICO tokens and altcoins into USD, the first step is identifying a trading platform on which fiat currencies are actually supported. However, unlike crypto currencies, tokens cannot be directly converted into fiat currencies. If the current platform you’re using doesn’t support the exchange, you may need to use a second one.
Moreover, only a few tokens are exchangeable with fiat currencies, but typically the process differs from one exchange to another. Here’s a step-by-step guide to converting your tokens into USD:
Step 1: Identifying an Exchange that Supports Fiat Currencies
Like we mentioned above, this is a vital part of the entire process. Before you sign up on an exchange, make sure that the currencies it supports are in accordance with your trading objectives.
Step 2: Choosing a Pair that Supports Your Preferred Fiat Currency
As it’s impossible to directly trade tokens with fiat currencies, you’ll need to look for a cryptocurrency to convert your tokens into before you can convert it into fiat currency.
Step 3: Exchanging Your Altcoin into Dollars
Once your tokens have been converted into the preferred cryptocurrency, you can then move onto choosing the pair that consists of USD and the crypto that you want to exchange it with.
