Hawaii will enforce a law that bans cryptocurrency ATMs and kiosks. Cointelegraph reported on Aug. 12 local time that Hawaii will become the fourth state in the United States to impose a full ban on cryptocurrency ATMs, following Minnesota, Tennessee and Indiana.

The Hawaii state legislature passed House Bill 1642 in May, and Governor Josh Green signed the bill in July. The law fully bans owning, operating or managing digital financial asset transaction kiosks that take U.S. dollars from customers and convert them into digital assets.

Cointelegraph said the legislation is a measure to respond to digital asset scams.

According to data from the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center, Americans suffered losses of more than $11 billion from digital asset-related fraud in 2025.

Minnesota, Tennessee and Indiana enforced full bans on digital asset kiosks from August, July and March, respectively. Delaware and New Jersey introduced bills to ban them, but as of August they had not yet been enacted. South Dakota and Wyoming drew up laws that impose strict restrictions on operating cryptocurrency ATMs instead of a full ban.

As of Aug. 12, 57 cryptocurrency ATMs and kiosks are operating across Hawaii's four main islands, according to CoinATMRadar.
