Cryptocurrency is becoming more accessible than ever—thanks in part to a growing network of crypto ATMs that make digital currency as easy to purchase as a soda. One of the key players leading this shift is Bitstop, a Miami-based fintech firm that now operates the largest Bitcoin ATM network in the United States and is quickly expanding throughout Florida and beyond.
Founded in 2013, Bitstop was one of the earliest companies to bridge the gap between cash and crypto. It launched the first Bitcoin ATM at Miami International Airport in 2019 and now offers users a way to instantly purchase a wide range of cryptocurrencies with cash—backed by security protocols and regulatory compliance.
Bitstop now supports more digital currencies than any other major Bitcoin ATM operator. In addition to Bitcoin (BTC), customers can buy Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Pepe Coin (PEPE), and Dogwifhat Coin (WIF).
“We’re bringing digital currency to the people because that’s what they’re asking for,” said Doug Carrillo, Bitstop’s co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer. “Crypto isn’t just for tech insiders anymore—it’s for everyone with cash and a reason to diversify.”
This expansion comes at a pivotal time. On Capitol Hill, lawmakers are preparing to vote on several cryptocurrency bills aimed at providing clarity and consumer protection. These include the bipartisan GENIUS Act, which would regulate stablecoins; the Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act, which defines agency roles for the SEC and CFTC; and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, which would prohibit the launch of a government-run digital dollar.
In addition, the SEC has issued guidance designed to accelerate the approval of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and federal banking regulators have cleared the way for traditional banks to custody and handle crypto assets. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14178, establishing a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and banning a central bank digital currency.
These developments signal growing acceptance of cryptocurrency by both government and institutional finance. For consumers, it means greater access, regulation, and infrastructure—making cash-to-crypto services like Bitstop increasingly relevant.
Bitstop is not the only company operating in this space. Competitors include Bitcoin Depot, CoinFlip, RockItCoin, Athena Bitcoin, Coinhub, and Byte Federal. All are registered as Money Service Businesses and must comply with federal anti-money-laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. However, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has recently called on major operators—including Bitstop—to implement stronger protections against fraud targeting older Americans.
Consumers can identify legitimate machines by looking for clear branding, licensing information, and security prompts. Bitstop’s ATMs are searchable via its website (bitstop.co), and public directories like CoinATMRadar.com show thousands of crypto ATMs throughout South Florida, including in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
While Bitstop does not publicly list every location, its strong presence in Miami-Dade and ongoing national expansion make it likely that more kiosks will appear across the region.
Bitstop’s value lies in simplicity. No apps, brokerages, or crypto wallets are required. Users insert cash and choose from a menu of digital currencies—all backed by a secure system and compliance measures.
“This is about democratizing access,” Carrillo said. “People want in—and we’re making it as easy as tapping a screen.”
As Bitcoin rallies, new federal rules take shape, and adoption spreads from Wall Street to Main Street, Bitstop is positioning itself as a familiar, trusted access point for the future of money—one transaction at a time.
