Tennessee Enacts Total Ban on Crypto ATMs Amid Fraud Concerns
- Legal Regulatory Upgrade: Tennessee's legislature passed Bill 2505, enacting a total ban on cryptocurrency ATMs, mandating the deactivation of all kiosks allowing cash purchases of digital assets by July 1, reflecting a strong response to financial fraud concerns.
- Criminal Classification: The new law categorizes violations of operating crypto ATMs as Class A misdemeanors, akin to simple drug possession or domestic abuse, highlighting lawmakers' serious concerns about these machines being tools for scams, particularly against the elderly.
- Minnesota's Regulatory Measures: Unlike Tennessee's outright ban, Minnesota's proposed Bill 3868 requires crypto ATM operators to provide detailed risk disclosures and imposes a $2,000 daily transaction limit for new clients, aiming to protect consumers through regulation rather than prohibition.
- Industry Pushback: Despite tightening regulations, over 85 companies are striving to promote real-world cryptocurrency payments, with industry voices warning that complete prohibitions may stifle innovation and reduce access points for ordinary users, impacting the adoption and growth of cryptocurrencies.
