Exchange one crypto for another at a BTM

Crypto-to-crypto exchange at a BTM

With the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin ATMs have become a convenient way for people to buy, sell, and exchange digital currencies. These ATMs allow users to convert cash into various types of cryptocurrencies, and in some cases, exchange one cryptocurrency for another. 

This guide will explain the process of exchanging one cryptocurrency for another at a Bitcoin ATM, including how to locate a Bitcoin ATM, verify supported coins, prepare your crypto wallet, and complete the transaction.

Here’s how to exchange one cryptocurrency for another at a Bitcoin ATM:

  1. Locate a Bitcoin ATM: There are a growing number of Bitcoin ATMs around the world, so you’ll need to find one that is close to you. You can use online directories such as CoinATMRadar or CoinATMMap to find a Bitcoin ATM near you.

  2. Verify the ATM’s supported coins: Before you go to the ATM, make sure that it supports the cryptocurrency you want to exchange. Not all Bitcoin ATMs support every type of cryptocurrency, so it’s best to check ahead of time.

  3. Prepare your crypto wallet: Before you go to the Bitcoin ATM, make sure that you have your cryptocurrency wallet set up and ready to go. You will need the public address (or QR code) of your wallet to complete the transaction.

  4. Select the appropriate option on the ATM: Once you are at the Bitcoin ATM, select the option to “Exchange one cryptocurrency for another.” You will then be prompted to select which cryptocurrencies you want to exchange.

  5. Enter your wallet information: After you have selected the cryptocurrencies you want to exchange, the ATM will ask you to enter your wallet information. This is typically done by scanning the QR code of your wallet.

  6. Confirm the exchange rate: Before you complete the transaction, the ATM will display the current exchange rate for the cryptocurrencies you are trading. Make sure you are comfortable with the rate before you proceed.

  7. Complete the transaction: Once you have confirmed the exchange rate, the ATM will send the appropriate amount of cryptocurrency to your wallet.
  8. Confirm the transaction: After the transaction is complete, the ATM will provide you with a receipt that you can use to confirm the transaction. Make sure to keep this receipt in case you need to reference the transaction in the future.

It’s important to note that the fees for crypto-to-crypto transactions are higher than crypto-to-cash or cash-to-crypto transactions, so be sure to check the fees before proceeding with your transaction.

Additionally, the process may vary depending on the specific Bitcoin ATM you are using, so be sure to read the instructions on the ATM or ask the operator for assistance if needed.
