In less than a week, the record for most Bitcoin ATMs operated under a single network has been broken again. Coinsource, a Texas-based ATM provider in business since 2015, announced yesterday that it has doubled its network to 600 cryptocrypto ATMs.
“It took us 4 years to deploy 300 machines, but it took less than two months to reach 600,” Coinsource CEO Sheffield Clark said in a press release.
The push from Coinsource may have something to do with last week’s news that its primary competitor, Bitcoin Depot, had become the first network provider to surpass 500 ATMs.
Coinsource bills its Bitcoin ATMs as a platform as a service (PaaS), similar to software as as a service (SaaS), which provides ATM buyers access to compliance and licensing help, customer support, and armored car services.

Bitcoin ATMs are pumping as Bitcoin Depot network hits a new milestone
Bitcoin Depot, a cryptocurrency ATM network, announced on Thursday that it now operates more than 500 ATMs in the United States. The company claims that this makes it the largest crypto ATM network in the world. The network, which is headquartered in Atlanta, runs over 100 cryptocurrency ATMs in its home city and has expanded to over 30 states across the US since 2016. “The expansion of Bitcoin ATMs increases acceptance and use of bitcoin for financial transactions and makes everyday transactio...
The company also said that they have partnered with traditional ATM providers, such as National Cash, as legacy players have found it difficult to navigate new crypto regulations.

“Coinsource has created a model that integrates seamlessly with ISO’s and ATM operators, providing a fully compliant SaaS model which allows us to overcome regulatory roadblocks,” Jay said.
While Bitcoin ATMs have gained a reputation within the last few months as a tool for money launderers, Coinsource says its product is certified under New York State’s Virtual Currency License and is fully compliant with know your customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering laws.
As of today, there are now 6,780 Bitcoin ATMs in the world, according to Coin ATM Radar, a website that tracks the industry.
