The United States has lost 10,763 crypto automated teller machines (ATMs) since the network stood at 38,708 machines 68 days ago on May 1, and coinatmradar.com data shows the decline accelerated once state regulators started shutting kiosks down for good.
Key Takeaways
U.S. crypto ATMs fell to 27,945 machines, down 10,763 from a peak of 38,708. Bitcoin Depot filed Chapter 11 on May 18, 2026, pulling 9,700 machines offline.Vermont’s Act 142 took effect July 1, 2026, joining bans in Indiana, Tennessee and Minnesota.Minnesota signed SF 3868 on May 5, with the operations ban effective Aug. 1 and full removal required by 2027. Vermont closed the loop with Act 142, signed June 16 and effective July 1, which permanently bars operators from locating or running kiosks in the state and voids any existing registrations.
No other state has enacted a full ban as of early July. Delaware and New Jersey both have prohibition bills sitting in committee, and neither has come up for a final vote. Local governments have moved faster than some state legislatures. Spokane, Washington, along with Stillwater and St. Paul in Minnesota, already restricts or bars the machines at the city level, separate from whatever their state legislatures decide.
Bitcoin Depot’s ExitThat single bar tells a different story from the running total. A cumulative chart makes a decline look gradual even when it isn’t. The monthly figures show years of steady expansion giving way to a short, sharp collapse once bans and bankruptcy hit at nearly the same time. Operators who built their business around thin per-transaction fees had little room left once compliance costs rose in state after state.
Why Regulators MovedStates that stopped short of a full ban have leaned on transaction caps, mandatory fraud warnings, money transmitter licensing, and refund rules for victims who file a police report. California, Arizona, Georgia, Virginia, and Arkansas have all added rules along these lines since 2025. Delaware and New Jersey do have ban bills moving through committee, but have not enacted them as of early July.
