Bitcoin Bancorp Inc. has begun deploying bitcoin ATMs throughout Southern California, with the first installations in the LA area, according to a press release.
The company has been gradually extending its footprint, most recently in Texas. It chose California due to its larger population and high levels of cryptocurrency use. Bitcoin Bancorp expects that this state's high retail foot traffic and population will deliver higher transaction volumes than other states.
"California has continuously led digital-asset innovation, supported by its world-class technology leadership, expansive retail networks and growing consumer demand for accessible cryptocurrency services," Eric Noveshen, director of Bitcoin Bancorp, said in the release. "The opportunity arose to strategically add new markets following our Texas deployment. California represents a natural next step for our licensed Bitcoin ATMs — delivering secure, compliant on-ramps to Bitcoin while capitalizing on one of the largest economic markets in the United States."
The company is providing patented technology for the ATMs for regulatory and anti-fraud compliance.
