Tennessee Bans Crypto ATMs, Nationwide Crackdown

About this episode

Tennessee has enacted a law banning crypto ATMs to combat scams, with penalties for non-compliance.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has signed a law banning crypto ATMs and kiosks, effective July 1st. The law turns new installations into a Class A misdemeanor, carrying penalties of up to 11 months in jail and a $2,500 fine. Operators and businesses have weeks to remove or shut down these machines to avoid penalties. The ban aims to prevent scammers from using these kiosks to defraud people, particularly seniors. In 2025, Americans lost $11 billion to crypto scams, with over $389 million tied to these ATMs. Other states are also considering bans, indicating a nationwide crackdown on these digital scams.
