Welcome to the Cybercrime Investigative Institute. As digital currencies reshape the financial landscape, a new phenomenon has emerged at the intersection of cash and crypto: cryptocurrency ATMs. These machines promise financial inclusion and convenience—but they also open the door to scams, money laundering and regulatory gray areas.

Our comprehensive whitepaper, “The Unbanked Gateway or a Launderer’s Dream? Analyzing the Impact of Crypto ATM Machines” takes you deep inside this evolving world.
