This expansion from DigitalMint comes about five months after announcing its partnership with Answers. Etc., a top-tier financial services software provider, and six months following E-Money Commerce collaboration. DigitalMint continues to grow in its efforts to make cryptocurrency transactions more accessible to the general public through kiosks and teller windows across the country. From gas stations to convenience stores, crypto ATMs have boomed globally and the number of Bitcoin ATMs in the U.S. have more than doubled from 4,213 ATMs in 2019 to 9,242 ATMs in 2020. The rise is also reflective of DigitalMint’s rapid growth in the category and as a leader in the space – the company now has more than 675 brick-and-mortar locations across 32 U.S. states.
