 <p class="is-style-lead">2023 saw a significant decline in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> ATMs, with more than 5,700 units discontinued.</p>
 <p>This reduction marks a historic first since the initial deployment of these machines in October 2013. According to the latest data from Coin ATM Radar, the global count of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> ATMs has decreased from its peak of 39,350 in December 2022 to approximately 33,620, representing a 14.5% decline from the previous high.</p>

 <p>Data also shows a fluctuating trend in the deployment and decommissioning of these ATMs throughout the year. January 2023 saw the removal of 1,523 ATMs, followed by 210 in February and a substantial reduction of 3,555 units in March. A brief resurgence occurred in May and June, with nearly 2,500 new installations. However, July marked the highest number of ATM removals, with 4,218 units decommissioned.</p>
 <p>Regarding market share, 10 operators manage 67% of the global <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency ATM <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="network" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/network.html">network</a>. Bitcoin Depot leads with 6,000 ATMs, and Coinflip comes in second with nearly 4,000, followed by Bitstop and Rockitcoin. This consolidation indicates a significant concentration of these services among a few key players in the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> ATM industry and the potential challenges for new vendors to enter and sustain the market.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>As the overall market is periodically coming out of the long <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> winter, it’ll be intriguing to see whether <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> ATMs also see steady growth in redeployment and installations this year. However, the current trends suggest that general consumer interest in ATMs might steadily decline for virtual assets.</p>
