In Texas, cryptocurrency ATM scam losses reached $56.8 million in 2025, and lawmakers are considering over-regulatory measures

The FBI submitted data disclosure to the legislative committee, revealing that losses related to cryptocurrency kiosks in Texas amounted to $56.8 million in 2025, involving 1,179 complaints, making it the highest loss among all states in the U.S. The total number of related complaints nationwide was 13,460, with reported losses increasing by 58% year-on-year to $389 million. Cryptocurrency kiosks can accept cash and exchange it for cryptocurrency, typically set up at gas stations and convenience stores.Statistics from the Texas Tribune show that there are about 4,000 such devices in Texas, where scammers induce victims to withdraw money from their bank accounts and deposit it into the machines. Jesse Saucillo, Deputy Commissioner of the Texas Department of Banking, stated that once funds are transferred out, recovering them is nearly impossible, as the money typically flows into unhosted wallets and then into mixers. He added that AI-generated police and state agency impersonation content makes phone inducements more deceptive.Data from AARP indicates that since 2023, approximately 30 states in the U.S. have enacted laws related to cryptocurrency kiosks. Indiana fully banned such devices in March, followed by Tennessee and Minnesota. Texas House Committee Chairman Rep. Cole Hefner stated that the state will consider measures beyond regulatory scope.

Gate Research Institute: Robinhood Chain presents a dual-layer structure of Meme+RWA, Gate DEX opens up multi-chain access to the ecosystem

Gate Research Institute released a thematic report on Robinhood Chain. The report points out that Robinhood Chain aims for tokenized stocks, ETFs, and other RWAs as its long-term direction, but in the early stages of the mainnet launch, growth is primarily driven by Meme, Launchpad, and Uniswap trading, forming a structure where RWA serves as a long-term asset endpoint and Meme acts as a short-term liquidity engine. The high turnover of popular tokens such as CASHCAT and PONS reflects that the market is pricing around the Robinhood brand, on-chain retail trading culture, and launch platform traffic.The report also believes that Gate DEX's comprehensive access to Robinhood Chain supplements the ecosystem's external multi-chain entry points. In the early development stage of Robinhood Chain, AMMs like Uniswap mainly undertake price discovery and liquidity formation for on-chain assets, while Gate DEX complements the inflow paths for external funds and users through asset discovery, trading entry, and cross-chain capabilities. Gate Alpha supports the discovery and trading of ecosystem assets and multiple launch platforms, while Gate Wallet, Swap, professional trading, and market modules simultaneously cover this network; relying on Across and LayerZero, users can conduct cross-chain exchanges between BSC, Ethereum, Base, and Robinhood Chain. Overall, Gate DEX mainly undertakes asset distribution and fund routing functions within the ecosystem, helping Robinhood Chain connect with a broader multi-chain user base by lowering the operational threshold for users to discover assets, enter cross-chain, and participate in trading.
