The evolution of the digital world cannot be hidden under any rock; technological advances are here to stay and are constantly improving. Within this spectrum, cryptocurrencies are inserted, especially Bitcoin, as a new innovative method to manage personal, business or even a country’s finances completely.
Although in the Dominican Republic this cryptocurrency is not recognized within the legal framework, it has a “thumbs up” from the Dominican population, since a considerable part of society uses Bitcoin and even has its own digital wallet; they are just waiting for banks to adopt the new modality.
It is not surprising that the number of Bitcoin ATMs has increased exponentially around the world in recent years, despite the instability of the most valuable currency in the market, users are still looking for it.
According to the website Coin ATM Radar, to date there are 20 Bitcoin ATMs throughout the Dominican Republic; most of them are concentrated in strategic points for tourists: Santo Domingo (capital), Bávaro and Punta Cana (main tourist destination in the country) and Santiago de los Caballeros.
