“The Mission of the Cryptocurrency Deployers Forum, as a global deployers body, is to govern its activities and its working groups in a transparent, non-competitive way.

This will result not only in understanding the emerging global landscape for BTM deployments, but also in proactively designing responses to ongoing potential government regulations as well as to combat any future security threats against dispensing ATMs”, furthered David Tente, ATMIA Executive Director for North America.The initial members that will comprise the Forum include: Bitstop, Bitcoin of America, Bitcoin Depot, Coinflip, Genesis Coin, Liberty-X and Powercoin.
