  Yes, there are regulations for cryptocurrency ATMs in Canada. The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing activities. Cryptocurrency ATM operators are required to register with FINTRAC as a money services business (MSB) and comply with its reporting and record-keeping requirements. This includes conducting customer due diligence, reporting suspicious transactions, and maintaining transaction records for a minimum of five years. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in penalties and legal consequences.
