Crypto ATMs are never legal. And the way they are being deployed in the world and how the world is still running underground, you can see how the Australia, UK and USA is struggling to catch them. More nations stop this money laundering concept the easier for their national currency. But for us crypto people ATM never made sense so close them or run them we would just use mobile apps.
AUSTRAC which is financial task force in Australia is cracking down on such type of the ATM and they are making sure to close such ATM to avoid money laundering.
Slowly the world is waking up on crypto being threat for the national currency. And unless they control that they would be facing what USD is facing right now. Though for us crypto leaning people this has nothing to do with us. And this would only make things further worst as well.
Australia doing this is good for their own nation. And this was going to happen. With the CBDC coming in and also the apps through which the money can be sent. I am sure this would bring in more issues with the negative people and the investors would be struggling long term.
Official press news says they are amending some bills and laws in this case too. In grand scheme we are going to be Australia adjusting to the centralization which is default for any country. And also ATM based crypto means we are going to see people pushing for this new change.
