Crypto Kiosks are automated teller machines (ATMs) that allow individuals to buy or sell cryptocurrencies using fiat currency. These physical terminals provide a convenient, direct access point for converting traditional money into digital assets and vice versa. Users typically interact with the machine by scanning QR codes for wallet addresses and inserting cash. They serve as a bridge between the physical economy and the digital asset market.
