The United States is one of the main hotbeds for cryptocurrency ATMs and it should come as no surprise that their popularity is growing. This is shown by the fact that twenty of the sites for Circle K convenience stores in Nevada and Arizona have declared their establishment of Bitcoin ATMs in their stores. These ATMs are being provided by the technology company DigitalMint, which already has over 250 installations across a number of states in the US.

When pressed for comment relating to the partnership, President and Co-Founder of DigitalMint, Marc Grens was reported as saying “We are thrilled to be partnering with a respected organization like Circle K.This partnership opens the door for massive expansion of Bitcoin access to new markets around the globe.”

Traders using these machines will be able to make transactions of up to $20,000 dollars per day and must either be made via cash or, wire transfers with a minimum spend of $5000. The cities receiving these machines will be Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, Tucson, Flagstaff, Surprise or Maricopa in Arizona and Las Vegas in Nevada, although Reno may get their own soon.

As it stands, the United States has over half of the total active cryptocurrency ATMs in the world, with a grand total of 3,229 installations. Furthermore, the rapid trend of growth for cryptocurrency installations has not seemed to slow, with 160 new installations being set up, creating an average of around 6 new sites per day.
