Hawaii will join Minnesota, Tennessee and Indiana in becoming the fourth US state to completely ban the use of cryptocurrency ATMs and kiosks in response to scams. Hawaii will soon become the latest US state to enact a total ban on cryptocurrency kiosks and ATMs after its governor signed off on legislation.  Following the passage of House Bill 1642 by Hawaii’s legislature in May, Governor Josh Green signed the legislation into law in July, setting the US state for a complete prohibition on “the ownership, operation, or management of a digital financial asset transaction kiosk that accepts United States currency from a customer in exchange for a digital financial asset.” The bill cited data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, which reported in April that Americans lost more than $11 billion from scams related to digital assets in 2025.
