Miami International Airport gets first Bitcoin ATM

Bitstop has installed one of its Bitcoin ATMs at Miami International Airport.

A first for the airport, it allows customers to buy Bitcoin for cash. Bitstop states that Miami International is the third busiest in the United States in terms of international passenger traffic. It is also “the largest gateway between the US and Latin America and is one of the largest airline hubs in the United States,” a press release notes.

Bitstop Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Doug Carrillo says: “More and more people prefer to travel with Bitcoin instead of cash for convenience and security. Miami International Airport is a perfect place for our customers to conveniently exchange their dollars for Bitcoin and vice versa when traveling domestically or abroad.”

This is the venture’s 130th machine Stateside and the aim is to reach 500 Bitcoin ATMs installed worldwide by the end of 2020.
