自助金融服務亭的領導者 Coinstar 週二宣布推出 CINQ by Coinstar，這是一款與 Coinstar 合作開發的數位錢包

Coinstar, the company behind those coin-counting kiosks you see at grocery stores, is expanding its digital wallet offering with a new partnership.

Coinstar 是您在雜貨店看到的硬幣計數亭背後的公司，正在透過新的合作夥伴關係擴展其數位錢包產品。

The digital wallet, called CINQ by Coinstar, was launched in August 2023. It allows users to buy cryptocurrency and stablecoins with cash at over 9,500 Coinstar kiosks across the U.S., or through the CINQ by Coinstar mobile app.

這款數位錢包名為 CINQ by Coinstar，於 2023 年 8 月推出。

Coinstar is also planning to expand the wallet’s services in 2025 to enhance financial access for underbanked Americans and make remittances more affordable, especially for immigrants who often rely on cash-based transfers.

Coinstar 還計劃在 2025 年擴大錢包服務，以改善銀行服務不足的美國人的金融服務，並使匯款更加便宜，特別是對於經常依賴現金轉帳的移民而言。

“Through a partnership with Zero Hash, CINQ by Coinstar has launched with the initial ability to purchase cryptocurrency and stablecoins with cash at more than 9,500 Coinstar kiosks across the U.S., or through the CINQ by Coinstar mobile app,” the announcement states.

公告稱：“透過與 Zero Hash 合作，CINQ by Coinstar 最初能夠在美國超過 9,500 個 Coinstar 售貨亭或透過 CINQ by Coinstar 行動應用程式用現金購買加密貨幣和穩定幣。”

“Users of the CINQ by Coinstar app, powered by Zero Hash, can seamlessly move in, out and between cash, stablecoins and crypto.”

“CINQ by Coinstar 應用程式由零哈希提供支持，用戶可以在現金、穩定幣和加密貨幣之間無縫地進出。”

Coinstar, a leading self-service financial kiosk operator in North America, announced the launch of CINQ by Coinstar on Tuesday. The digital wallet is being rolled out in partnership with Zero Hash, a crypto infrastructure platform.

北美領先的自助金融終端營運商 Coinstar 於週二宣布推出 CINQ by Coinstar。這款數位錢包是與加密基礎設施平台 Zero Hash 合作推出的。

The announcement comes as several companies are looking to expand access to cryptocurrency and stablecoin transactions for U.S. consumers. In December, MoneyGram announced a partnership with Stellar Development Foundation to enable near-instant and low-cost settlements for stablecoin transactions.

這項消息發布之際，多家公司正在尋求擴大美國消費者對加密貨幣和穩定幣交易的訪問範圍。去年 12 月，MoneyGram 宣布與 Stellar Development Foundation 建立合作夥伴關係，為穩定幣交易提供近乎即時且低成本的結算。

CINQ by Coinstar is now available at up to 9,500 of Coinstar’s 17,000+ network of kiosks across the U.S., enabling cash-to-crypto transactions at a large scale.

Coinstar 遍佈美國的 17,000 多個資訊亭網路中的 9,500 個均可使用 CINQ by Coinstar，從而實現大規模的現金到加密貨幣交易。

“This collaboration allows up to 9,500 of Coinstar’s 17,000+ network of kiosks across the U.S. to facilitate cash-to-crypto transactions,” the announcement adds.

公告補充說：“此次合作使得 Coinstar 在全美 17,000 多個資訊亭網路中的 9,500 個能夠促進現金到加密貨幣的交易。”

Coinstar’s kiosks are located in major grocery stores, including Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, Publix, Winn-Dixie, Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Giant Eagle, Meijer, Price Chopper, ShopRite, Stop & Shop, and Hy-Vee, among others.

The company’s network spans 40,000 retail touchpoints across North America, handling an estimated $5 billion in transactions annually.

該公司的網路覆蓋北美 4 萬個零售接觸點，每年處理的交易額估計達 50 億美元。

Coinstar CEO Kevin McColly said in a statement: “We’re excited to work with Zero Hash to make digital currency accessible to everyone, everywhere.”

Coinstar 執行長 Kevin McColly 在一份聲明中表示：“我們很高興與 Zero Hash 合作，讓世界各地的每個人都可以使用數位貨幣。”

「CINQ by Coinstar 是我們服務的自然延伸，我們相信它將有助於進一步促進美國的金融包容性，」他補充道。

「Zero Hash 致力於提供支援下一代金融服務的基礎設施，這種合作關係將使我們能夠透過可訪問且安全的加密服務覆蓋更廣泛的受眾，」他繼續說道。

“The ability to link Coinstar’s cash infrastructure with digital assets presents a unique opportunity to drive financial inclusion and reduce remittance fees by simplifying the cash-to-crypto pipeline.”

“將 Coinstar 的現金基礎設施與數位資產連接起來的能力提供了一個獨特的機會，可以通過簡化現金到加密貨幣的管道來推動金融包容性並降低匯款費用。”

According to Coinstar, users can buy over 25 crypto and stablecoin assets with paper currency at Coinstar kiosks in major grocery stores across North America as well as through the CINQ by Coinstar mobile app.

據 Coinstar 稱，用戶可以在北美主要雜貨店的 Coinstar 售貨亭以及透過 Coinstar 行動應用程式的 CINQ 使用紙幣購買超過 25 種加密貨幣和穩定幣資產。

The company noted that while the CINQ by Coinstar wallet is available in all 50 states, Zero Hash enabled Kiosks are not currently available in all states, including the state of New York.

該公司指出，雖然 CINQ by Coinstar 錢包在所有 50 個州都可用，但目前並非所有州都可以使用支援零哈希的資訊亭，包括紐約州。
