šØ FinCEN Sounds Alarm: Crypto Kiosk Scams Targeting Financial Institutions in 2025

Financial institutions are in the crosshairs of a new wave of crypto kiosk scamsāand regulators arenāt playing nice.
Hereās the kicker: Criminals are exploiting weak points in self-service crypto terminals, turning them into money-laundering portals. No fancy tech requiredājust old-school fraud with a blockchain veneer.
Why it matters: While banks scramble to patch compliance gaps, these scams highlight the absurdity of a system where a $5,000 kiosk can outmaneuver million-dollar AML systems. (Take that, legacy finance.)
The bottom line: If your compliance strategy still treats crypto as a "future problem," congratulationsāyouāre the perfect mark.
