Crypto ATMs are facing increasing regulatory pressure in the United States.

Recently, Delaware and New Jersey have introduced bills planning to ban the installation and operation of cryptocurrency ATMs nationwide.
Regulators believe that these devices have become a significant channel for scams.
Data shows that by 2025, nearly 13.5k complaints related to crypto ATMs in the U.S. will be filed, resulting in over $388 million in losses, with more than half of the victims being over 50 years old.
In the face of rising scam cases, more and more states are choosing to directly restrict or even ban crypto ATM operations.
In my view, crypto ATMs are essentially just tools.
Scammers can use phone calls, bank accounts, and also crypto ATMs.
The real issue lies in the scam activities themselves, not the tools.
Compared to outright bans, a more reasonable approach might be to strengthen identity verification, improve transaction review standards, and enhance risk warning mechanisms.
This debate reflects not only the future of crypto ATMs but also how regulators can find a balance between innovation and risk.
For the industry, the most important thing is not whether there is regulation, but whether regulation can be precise without being excessive.
