Promote with Leviathan NewsDelaware lawmakers advanced HB 441, a statewide ban on installing, owning, or operating crypto kiosks/Bitcoin ATMs that now heads to the Senate. If passed, existing machines would have to go offline immediately and be physically removed within 90 days, with point-of-sale workarounds treated as illegal substitutes. Backers cite 13,400+ FBI IC3 complaints tied to crypto kiosks and $388M+ in losses nationally in 2025, plus $26.9M in Delaware crypto and wallet-related losses; the argument is that gas-station crypto ATMs have become a high-fee scam rail more than a serious onramp.
