Crypto ATMs offer several benefits to cryptocurrency users. They provide cryptocurrency users with easier trading options. Also, users are not required to set up an account or deal with long public keys. Rather, crypto ATMs automatically generate the receipt for transactions and these receipts contain both private keys and public keys in the form of QR codes.
Several retailers are trying to provide crypto ATM services to their customers as part of the efforts to digitalize their offerings while enhancing customer experiences. For instance, in October 2021, Walmart announced a partnership with coin cashing machine company Coinstar and crypto-cash exchange provider Coinme. The partnership envisages Walmart installing 200 bitcoin ATMs in its store across the U.S.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to play a decisive role in driving the growth of the market. Lower access fees and ease of access encouraged people to increasingly invest in cryptocurrencies during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the U.S. Consumer Crypto Survey, 48% of Americans bought cryptocurrencies in H1/ 2021.
