The first unit will be installed on the 2nd floor of the Plaza Building at 'Tennoji MIO', serving as a pilot deployment site for COINHUB’s expanding cryptocurrency ATM network.

Installing a cryptocurrency ATM in such a high-traffic, everyday commuter environment marks a significant step toward the societal integration of digital assets in Japan.
