Wisconsin crypto ATM law targets scams, but critics say it falls short
- —Act 226 caps crypto ATM transactions at $1,000 per day and requires customer ID
- —U.S. crypto ATM scam losses hit $333 million in 2025; Wisconsin losses topped $5.4 million
- —86% of crypto ATM scam losses involved Americans aged 60 and older
- —About 700 high-risk kiosks remain in convenience stores and gas stations statewide
Why it matters: U.S. states are tightening crypto ATM rules as fraud losses mount, and Wisconsin's approach could become a template for other jurisdictions.
