Australia's Bitcoin ATM network has seen a remarkable 29-month streak of monthly additions, bringing the total number of machines in the country to 1,359. This accounts for approximately 3.5% of the global total, putting Australia in the running to overtake Europe's tally of 1,660 ATMs.

澳洲的比特幣 ATM 網路已連續 29 個月連續增加每月新增設備，使該國的機器總數達到 1,359 台。這約佔全球總數的 3.5%，使澳洲有望超越歐洲的 1,660 台 ATM 機數量。

According to data from Coin ATM Radar, Australia is now vying for third place in the world rankings for the highest number of Bitcoin ATMs, following the United States and Canada. The U.S. maintains its clear lead with 31,516 ATMs, which represents 81.3% of the global count. Coming in second is Canada, with 3,027 ATMs, amounting to 7.8% of the total market.

根據 Coin ATM Radar 的數據，澳洲目前在比特幣 ATM 數量最多的世界排名中爭奪第三位，僅次於美國和加拿大。美國以 31,516 台 ATM 保持明顯領先地位，佔全球數量的 81.3%。排名第二的是加拿大，擁有 3,027 台 ATM，佔市場總量的 7.8%。

As the staggering figures indicate, North America boasts an overwhelming presence in the global Bitcoin ATM market, hosting over 90% of all machines worldwide. Europe and Oceania each account for around 4% of the ATMs, while Asia has a relatively small presence with only 0.9%. In total, there are 38,753 Bitcoin ATMs deployed around the world.

令人震驚的數字表明，北美在全球比特幣 ATM 市場中擁有壓倒性的地位，擁有全球 90% 以上的機器。歐洲和大洋洲的 ATM 數量各佔 4% 左右，而亞洲的比例相對較小，僅佔 0.9%。全球總共部署了 38,753 台比特幣 ATM。

However, this growth in Bitcoin ATM accessibility has also brought to light an alarming trend of scams perpetrated through these machines, particularly in the United States. According to the Federal Trade Commission, fraudulent activities involving Bitcoin ATMs have resulted in staggering losses exceeding $110 million in 2023 alone. Scammers are exploiting the anonymity and rapid transaction capabilities of these machines to carry out their illicit schemes.

然而，比特幣 ATM 可訪問性的成長也暴露了透過這些機器實施的詐騙趨勢，尤其是在美國。據美國聯邦貿易委員會稱，僅 2023 年，涉及比特幣 ATM 的詐欺活動就造成了超過 1.1 億美元的驚人損失。詐騙者正在利用這些機器的匿名性和快速交易能力來實施他們的非法計劃。

In response to this pressing issue, U.S. lawmakers have intervened, urging major ATM operators to prioritize addressing fraud, especially scams targeting elderly individuals. These efforts aim to curb the fraudulent use of Bitcoin ATMs and protect vulnerable members of society from financial losses.

為了應對這一緊迫問題，美國立法者進行了乾預，敦促主要 ATM 營運商優先解決詐欺問題，特別是針對老年人的詐騙。這些努力旨在遏制比特幣 ATM 的欺詐性使用，並保護社會弱勢成員免受財務損失。
