Canada is planning to ban cryptocurrency ATMs as part of its Spring Economic Update 2026 to reduce fraud and protect consumers. Officials say these machines are increasingly used by scammers to trick victims into sending funds and by criminals to move illegal money. The country has nearly 4000 crypto ATMs, the highest per capita in the world. The government believes removing them will help limit financial crimes and improve overall safety in the digital asset space.
