Buying and selling bitcoins anywhere in the world comes with its own set of rules and tricks, and in Russia it is not very different.

ATMs

One of the first Bitcoin ATMs installed in Russia appeared in the city of St. Petersburg, the second most populous city in the country. This ATM allows users to buy bitcoins for a 4% fee. The machine is operated by Bitlish cryptocurrencyexchange and dispenses Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Zcash. The cashier is located in a shopping center on Vasilevsky Island.

Previously, InvestCoin24 had installed one in Moscow as a test. The company plans to collaborate with the authorities of the local airport to install ATMs at the departure and arrival terminals, which will give access to the cryptocurrencies to travelers who frequent these facilities.

Another encouraging sign of the growing cryptocurrency boom in Russia was that the third largest city, Novosibirsk, already has at least 10 Bitcoin ATMs installed in five districts of the city by a local startup. Surely, after the government formalizes the respective legislation, cryptocurrency ATMs will become a common part of the landscape in more Russian cities.

In addition to the airports, InvestCoin24 will install some terminals in the hotels to make sure that Bitcoin and other forms of cryptocurrencies are accessible for those looking for them.
