The United States of America has been one of the countries that has apparently resisted the adoption of cryptocurrency the most of all Western countries. However, now things are starting to change and the change is very rapid in some parts of the country.
Of course, not all states are equally supportive of crypto, but the number of those that are is growing rapidly. Recently, the mayor of Miami invited Bitcoin miners who are being forced out of China, and now a Texas supermarket chain is set to set up crypto ATMs and allow customers to buy and sell. sell digital currencies on the spot. .
According to yesterday’s Houston Chronicle report, a crypto ATM company known as Coin Cloud is preparing to install crypto ATMs at 29 HEB locations in the Houston area. This will allow Texas cryptocurrency users to come to the store, collect their coins there, and purchase items for cash.
Another movement to encourage adoption in Texas
HEB has been around since 1905, making it one of the oldest grocery chains in the state. There are over 400 locations in Texas, as well as Mexico. While only 29 of them will have ATMs installed, this might just be the beginning.
ATMs will support over 30 different currencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, various stablecoins, and even a number of DeFi tokens.
Chris McAlary, Coin Cloud founder and interim CEO, said the move will make retailers increasingly aware of the importance of digital currencies, especially for the future. The company is about to install its 2000 crypto ATM, and it will be in one of the HEB stores.
It’s also worth noting that Texas has started to become a major center for cryptocurrency mining, partly because of a poorly regulated power grid and partly because it uses renewable energy, solving environmental problems. that are of concern to many nowadays.
