Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signs House Bill 2505, banning crypto ATMs and kiosks from July 1, with operators facing misdemeanor charges, nearly a year in prison, and $2,500 fines. Over 570 machines operate statewide. Lawmakers target scam gateways exploiting seniors, amid FBI reports of $389 million losses from 13,000 kiosk complaints.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signs House Bill 2505 into law on April 13, banning cryptocurrency ATMs and kiosks starting July 1. Operators and businesses hosting the machines face Class A misdemeanor charges, with penalties up to 11 months and 29 days in prison and a $2,500 fine.

CoinATMRadar data shows more than 570 crypto kiosks operating in the state as of Monday, run by companies including Bitcoin Depot and CoinFlip. Bitcoin Depot's Nasdaq-traded shares close down 6.9% that day, per Yahoo Finance. Cointelegraph contacts Bitcoin Depot for comment but receives no immediate response.

Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton, who sponsors the bill, states: “Virtual currency kiosks have become a gateway for scammers to exploit Tennesseans, especially our seniors, with little hope of recovering their money once it’s gone.”

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
