Description

Bitcoin ATMs could be considered symbolic of the state of crypto’s popularity. During the digital asset boom they kept on appearing in what could reasonably be considered unusual locations. Such as Amherst County, Virginia, a place that has no hospital but does have a Bitcoin ATM. Just in case.
The number of crypto ATMs in the US peaked in August at just over 34,000 but has begun to fall, according to Coin ATM Radar, a site that tracks global locations of Bitcoin ATMs. Will these makeshift monuments to digital assets withstand the FTX bankruptcy and subsequent decline of digital assets.  Bloomberg reporter Carly Wanna joins the episode to consider the future of Bitcoin ATMs.

Crypto is the world's hottest financial trend. Digital tokens like Bitcoin and NFTs have moved from niche products to showing up in Super Bowl commercials and song lyrics.  Advocates of these new asset classes promise they will democratize the finance industry, and they hail the blockchain technology that backs it all as the future of computing. Skeptics say it's another financial house of cards. No newsroom on the planet is better equipped than Bloomberg to cut through all the noise and provide clarity, context and authority. In this new daily podcast, Bloomberg’s reporting team will tease out what’s actually important in the crypto conversation. Led by crypto expert Stacy-Marie Ishmael, the podcast will draw on reporters in every region and credible voices in the industry to cover everything from regulation to alt coins to DeFi, and even the environmental impact of the currency that promises to change the finance landscape indefinitely.
