Virtual currency automated teller machines ... are internet-linked terminals that allow users to exchange fiat currency, such as Canadian dollars, for the purchase or sale of virtual currency. Virtual currency automated teller machines facilitate money transfers between a virtual currency automated teller machine operator and a customer's virtual currency wallet. Unlike traditional automated teller machines, which require a bank account to deposit or withdraw funds, virtual currency automated teller machines directly connect the user to the virtual currency exchange to purchase or sell virtual currency. 4, record 1, English, - cryptocurrency%20automated%20teller%20machine
