Crypto ATM market could reach $ 3.55 billion by 2030 – Bitcoin Depot

A North American maker of cryptocurrency ATMs sees the market grow to nearly $ 4 billion in less than nine years.
âThe crypto ATM industry continues to grow at a rapid rate, with estimates that the market will reach $ 3.55 billion by 2030,â Brandon Mintz, President and CEO of Bitcoin deposit, said in a Press release.
“We are certainly seeing this use and the continued growth of our business, with significant expansion throughout 2021.”
General interest
In 2021, the cryptocurrency market has captured the interest of the general public and has seen demand skyrocket from consumers and retailers. The number of ATMs around the world grew 155% and more than doubled in the United States to 27,000, Bitcoin Depot said.
âIf anything, 2021 has shown us that bitcoin is not a short-lived trend but something that’s here to stay,â Mintz said.
Founded in 2016, Bitcoin Depot operates a network of over 6,500 crypto ATMs in the United States and Canada, allowing users to instantly buy bitcoin (BTC), litecoin (LTC) and ether (ETH ). The company is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
Works like a regular ATM
Crypto ATMs work like a regular ATM, and depending on the machine, you may need to scan a QR code with the address where you need to deposit your cryptocurrency. They can also be used to buy cryptocurrencies.
The company predicts that bitcoin adoption rates will continue to rise and become even more mainstream as an accepted asset class in 2022.
Earlier this year, Bitcoin Depot signed a partnership with convenience store chain Circle K, and the company expects crypto ATMs to continue to grow in retail environments, such as restaurants. and bars, thus diversifying the cryptocurrency clientele.
Main access points
âRetailers are becoming major gateways and advocates for cryptocurrency by hosting Bitcoin Depot ATMs. This creates a larger network of access points. It might sound drastic now, but think of a world where you can buy and sell real property using cryptocurrency. That’s the projection for the future, âadded Mintz of Bitcoin Depot.
Bitcoin traded below the $ 50,000 level for most of December.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favor, or suffer a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading, you enter into a contract to exchange legal ownership of individual stocks or commodities for cash, and you own it until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the total value of the CFD trade to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs come with overnight costs to hold trades (unless you’re using 1 to 1 leverage), making them more suitable for short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held longer. You could also pay a commission or brokerage fees when buying and selling assets directly and you would need a place to store them safely.
