Definition ∞ A digital asset kiosk is an automated machine, similar to an ATM, that allows users to buy or sell cryptocurrencies using cash or debit cards. These kiosks provide a physical access point for individuals to interact with the digital asset market, facilitating fiat-to-crypto conversions. They typically require identity verification to comply with anti-money laundering regulations. Their presence expands the accessibility of digital assets to a broader public.
Context ∞ The expansion of digital asset kiosks indicates growing public interest and physical accessibility for cryptocurrency transactions, particularly in regions with limited banking access. Regulatory bodies are increasingly focusing on the compliance requirements for these machines, including KYC/AML procedures. News often covers their geographical deployment and any associated regulatory actions or licensing changes.
