Bitcoin is still king of the cryptocurrency space. It is the most-widely accepted cryptocurrency with a growing network of ATMs enabling users to buy and sell their digital assets with little to no fuss.
On the other hand, Ethereum has been growing at an even faster pace in recent month, but it is still not as nearly as popular as Bitcoin (especially now that Bitcoin’s price has surpasses $4K). Nonetheless, all the media and corporate attention Ethereum got prompted many Bitcoin ATM (so called BTM) operators to include support for Ethereum as well as other popular cryptocurrencies, which combined are known as “altcoins.”
And that brings us to the point of this story… A few Bitcoin ATMs in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada got support for Ethereum, including those installed at these locations…
Toronto Ethereum ATM locations
- Toronto – Hasty Market – 161 Church Street, Toronto
- Etobicoke – Hasty Market 2240 Lake Shore Blvd W #103, Etobicoke
