Seattle, April 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Coinme<\/a>, the largest fully-licensed cryptocurrency cash exchange in the U.S., today announced its entrance into Florida with the launch of over 300 bitcoin-enabled Coinstar\u00ae kiosks<\/a> located at select Winn-Dixie, Fresco y Mas, Harveys and other grocery outlets across the state from small towns to big cities including Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando and Tampa. For Floridians, the expansion makes buying bitcoin with cash as simple as visiting their local grocery store.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team has been working with state regulators in an effort to launch Coinme on Coinstar kiosks throughout the state, and we are thrilled to secure a license to offer a cash onramp to purchasing bitcoin to the residents of Florida,\u201d said Neil Bergquist, co-founder and CEO of Coinme. \u201cThrough our partnership, we\u2019re able to continue to expand into new areas to meet the ever-growing demand of accessible avenues to purchasing digital currencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

A recent Coinstar\u00ae-sponsored survey found that 23% of people who would purchase cryptocurrencies would do so from a bitcoin ATM or kiosk. Additionally, nearly one in five respondents said they would prefer to buy cryptocurrency with cash, and over half advised they would purchase it as an investment. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe current mainstream demand for bitcoin has attracted many first-time investors who need straightforward and secure access to cash avenues to purchase it,\u201d said Jim Gaherity, CEO of Coinstar. \u201cWe\u2019ve been eager to bring Coinme to our kiosks in Florida, and now our customers there can easily attain it through a number of Coinme-enabled Coinstar locations near them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Coinme is Different<\/strong>
Purchasing bitcoin at Coinstar kiosks via Coinme offers a simple and safe way to turn cash into bitcoin instantly. Unlike bitcoin ATMs, the process of buying bitcoin at Coinme-enabled Coinstar kiosks offers unique advantages.<\/p>\n
