Crypto ATM Numbers Surge as Recovery Continues in 2025
According to the latest statistics from coinatmradar.com, the number of global crypto ATMs has seen a significant surge in recent times. As of January 11, 2025, there are approximately 38,866 machines worldwide, nearing its all-time high of 39,958 recorded on December 1, 2022.
This rapid increase is notable considering the significant decline that occurred after the Terra stablecoin crash and FTX collapse in November 2022. By July 2023, the total number of crypto ATMs had dropped to a low of 33,085 devices, representing a decrease of 6,873 machines. Since then, installation rates have started recovering.
In the last quarter of 2024, we saw an increase of 157 new machines in December and a net addition of 404 devices in November. While October 2024 experienced a decline of 280 ATMs, the overall trend suggests a strong recovery.
The global crypto ATM market is dominated by major operators such as Bitcoin Depot, with 8,486 machines, Coinflip managing 5,289 devices, and Athena Bitcoin overseeing 3,797 ATMs globally. These key players collectively manage a substantial portion of the global crypto ATM infrastructure. It’s worth noting that smaller companies are also making significant contributions, particularly in expanding services to less saturated regions.
Regional Distribution Highlights US Dominance
The regional distribution of crypto ATMs paints an interesting picture. The United States remains the primary market for these services, accounting for 81.3% of the global total. Europe is a distant second, with a share of 4.3%, followed by Oceania and Australia at 4% and 3.5%, respectively.
This disparity underscores varying levels of crypto adoption across different regions. The US continues to be the primary market for crypto ATM services, with slower growth in other areas.
Bitcoin Remains Dominant Cryptocurrency
Not surprisingly, Bitcoin (BTC) remains the most widely supported cryptocurrency on these machines, supported by a staggering 38,855 devices or almost all ATMs. Litecoin (LTC) takes the second spot, available on 54.2% of devices, while Ethereum (ETH) follows closely at 53.3%. Dogecoin (DOGE) is available on approximately 27.7% of machines.
These figures reflect user preferences for major cryptocurrencies and suggest that Bitcoin remains a top choice among users.
