With recent ASX data showing Australians invested a median of $5,100 in crypto in 2023, CoinFlip ATMs offer a straightforward, secure way to buy and sell cryptocurrency using cash, making digital assets more accessible. The CoinFlip Wallet app further simplifies this process, providing a secure platform for users to manage their digital assets seamlessly and confidently.

“The CoinFlip Wallet was launched in the ANZ market in response to a growing demand for secure, flexible, self-custody solutions,” said Ben Brockliss, CoinFlip Vice President for Australia and New Zealand.

“CoinFlip is dedicated to making crypto accessible and secure while focusing on education around adoption. Despite growing interest, barriers like limited understanding and technical knowledge can deter new users. CoinFlip’s extensive ATM network helps break down the barrier, with our wallet making crypto more accessible and approachable across the market.”

The CoinFlip Wallet uses the built-in security features of a user’s phone for quick and secure access. Being self-custodial, the user is firmly in charge of their own digital assets. The setup process is simple: download the Wallet app to a smartphone, verify, and enable access. Users will have the option to backup their Wallet, save down backup codes and they will be required to set up a backup password.

CoinFlip charges 30% less in ATM fees, on average, than its leading competitors and has the largest coverage in Australia with ATMs available in easily accessible places such as shopping centres and petrol stations. Customers can invest in any one of these simply by taking cash out at the checkout and easily using the money to purchase cryptocurrency for near instant settlement.

CoinFlip also utilises state-of-the-art blockchain analytics tools to proactively prevent fraud and block transactions to highly suspicious wallet addresses.
