Going off research from CoinATMRadar, 7044 cryptocurrency ATMs are currently in existence (at the time of writing), with this seeing machines hosting different kinds of cryptocurrencies other than bitcoin. This includes cryptocurrencies such as Dash and Litecoin.

The first bitcoin ATM was installed in 2013 when a company called Robocoin installed the machine in a coffee shop in Vancouver. This allowed customers to trade Bitcoin for cash and vice versa. On its launch day, the machine in question transacted more than $10,000 in bitcoin.
