An ATM ban refers to a prohibition on the operation or use of cryptocurrency automated teller machines. These restrictions typically stem from governmental or financial regulatory bodies seeking to control digital asset transactions. Such bans aim to curb illicit activities, money laundering, or unauthorized capital flows associated with easily accessible crypto conversion points. They often reflect broader policy stances on digital currency adoption and oversight.
