According to PANews, recent reports by Chainalysis and AUSTRAC reveal a significant increase in cryptocurrency remittances to Latin America, with a nearly 40% rise in users sending digital currencies to the region. The reports highlight that cryptocurrency ATMs can streamline the remittance process by reducing intermediaries, allowing users with limited financial literacy to conduct transactions through physical interactions. As stablecoins gain mainstream acceptance, there is potential for further growth in this sector.
Globally, there are over 38,000 cryptocurrency ATMs, with the United States accounting for more than 30,000 of these machines. Data from Coin ATM Radar indicates that Mexico, Puerto Rico, Panama, Colombia, and Argentina are the Latin American countries with the highest number of cryptocurrency ATMs, excluding El Salvador, which has over 200 ATMs.
