New Zealand Implements Crypto ATM Ban and Cash Transfer Cap

New Zealand has enacted a nationwide ban on cryptocurrency ATMs and imposed a $5,000 cap on cash transfers to curb money laundering activities. The measures were announced by Associate Justice Minister Nicole McKee on July 9, 2025.

Associate Justice Minister Nicole McKee emphasized the importance of preventing financial system misuse by implementing stricter AML laws. The New Zealand Police and financial intelligence units have been monitoring illegal uses of crypto ATMs and saw this as a necessary action.

The ban directly affects bitcoin, ethereum, and various altcoins previously transacted via now-restricted ATMs. Currency on/off ramps are significantly impacted, potentially shifting users toward peer-to-peer markets.

This decision aligns with broader global regulatory movements, reflecting stances taken by the UK and Australia. Observations from similar restrictions indicate a short-term decline in local transaction volumes and potentially increased offshore services reliance.

“This Government is serious about targeting criminals, not tying up legitimate businesses in unnecessary red tape… Cabinet has agreed to introduce a bill to strengthen enforcement powers for Police and regulators to crack down on those involved in money laundering. It will also establish a new financial sanctions supervisory regime… An upper limit will be set on how much cash can be transferred internationally ($5,000 per transfer), reducing the ability of criminal organization to move its funds offshore.” — Nicole McKee, Associate Justice Minister of New Zealand

The announcement has yet to spark notable responses from the cryptocurrency community, institutions, or key leaders within New Zealand. Developer activity and formal protests related to the measures remain minimal, indicating a wait-and-see approach from the industry at large.

Potential outcomes for New Zealand’s financial landscape include reduced transaction volumes through traditional channels, a focus on peer-to-peer exchanges, and future adaptation by industry players to regulatory demands. The uncertainty may drive innovation in compliance-focused fintech solutions.
