First US Bitcoin ATMs Set to Debut

In Seattle and Austin

|

Bitcoins are yet another step closer to going mainstream. Robocoin today announced that it will roll out the first-ever Bitcoin ATM machines in the U.S. later this month, starting with Seattle and Austin, Texas. Exactly where in the cities the machines will be installed is still unknown.

Robocoin's CEO Jordan Kelley told Time magazine in September 2013 that his firm was "working on deals" that would see its digital currency machines delivered to locations in Los Angeles, Florida, New York, and Austin by December or January. All of those cities have yet to have them installed.
