夏威夷将从 10 月 1 日起限制加密 ATM 的一项核心功能:用户不能再通过投放美元现金购买数字资产。根据州长 Josh Green 于 7 月 9 日签署生效的 Act 224,这类交易将被认定为违法行为,并被纳入州消费者保护法规。

法律只禁现金买币

新规并未要求关闭所有加密 ATM。法案针对的是“接受美国货币并向客户提供数字金融资产”的交易模式。也就是说,运营方今后不能在夏威夷提供现金买币服务。

但机器仍可保留另外两类功能:一是用户卖出数字资产并提取美元现金,二是用一种数字资产兑换另一种数字资产。换言之,限制重点是现金流入买币,而不是全面取缔设备。

州议会将重点指向诈骗

州议会相关委员会在报告中表示,这类设备越来越多地被用于针对老年人的诈骗。常见手法是诱导受害者把加密资产转入诈骗者控制的钱包地址。

报告还援引华盛顿特区和艾奥瓦州总检察长的调查称,在其抽查的相关设备交易中,超过 93% 与诈骗有关。基于这一判断,立法者认为,在消费者仍有其他渠道接触数字资产的情况下,直接禁止通过这类设备买币是合适做法。

投诉与损失明显上升

美国联邦调查局网络犯罪投诉中心数据显示,2025 年夏威夷居民共提交 92 起与加密 ATM 有关的投诉,调整后损失约 385 万美元,接近前一年的 4 倍。

  • 夏威夷全年加密相关投诉为 826 起
  • 涉及总损失约 8000 万美元
  • 全州四个岛屿约有 57 台设备运营

夏威夷银行专员 Dwight Young 对当地媒体表示,这类机器容易被犯罪分子利用,原因在于匿名性较高、追踪难度较大。诈骗通常从电话、短信或邮件开始,借“账户异常”或“错过陪审团传票”等说法引导受害者转账。

其他州也在推进限制

根据州消费者事务部门说法,设备周边工作人员反映,不少使用者是神情紧张的老年人。类似限制措施不只出现在夏威夷,得州议员正评估相关禁令,特拉华州也已推进本州法案。
