The cryptocurrency ATM distributor said the expansion could provide more and more people with access to new finances and attract millions of new users to the cryptocurrency space.
Alona Lubovnaya (Bitcoin Depot product director), said:
"Over the past year we have seen cryptocurrencies enter mainstream adoption by large investment corporations and private banking, but what about people who don't have access to these exclusive services?"
She went on to add that "ATMs located at Circle K stations provide very easy access to cryptocurrencies for the less affluent who do not use banks and do not have access to financial advisors".
