According to PANews, a new initiative will see cryptocurrency ATMs installed at 45 new locations across five U.S. states. Convenience store chain Yesway is partnering with digital currency platform Coinflip to provide customers with a seamless and secure way to buy and sell Bitcoin and other digital currencies. This expansion will make cryptocurrency more accessible in states such as Texas and Iowa, among others in the Southwest and Midwest regions.

Yesway, established in 2015, operates 435 convenience stores under the Yesway and Allsup brands across nine states, including Texas, New Mexico, and Iowa. The company is owned by BW Gas & Convenience Funds, a subsidiary of Brookwood Financial Partners LLC, and is the 12th largest convenience store operator in the United States. Coinflip, which operates the world's largest network of digital currency kiosks by transaction volume, has over 5,000 kiosks in nine countries, including the United States, Canada, and Brazil.
