Canada is preparing a nationwide crackdown on crypto ATMs, proposing a ban as part of efforts to combat fraud and illicit financial activity.

Authorities have identified crypto ATMs as a frequent channel for scams and untraceable money transfers, prompting stricter intervention. The move would affect nearly 4,000 machines, as Canada currently has one of the highest crypto ATM densities globally.

This development reflects a broader regulatory trend where governments are tightening oversight on on/off-ramps between fiat and crypto, especially in areas linked to consumer protection risks.
