Romania’s State-Controlled Postal Service to Install BTC and Crypto ATMs

The official website of Poșta Română released a  press release on June 3, saying that it is entering the crypto world and the first Bitcoin terminals will reach postal offices across the country.

The national company Poșta Română, which is the leader of the Romanian postal and logistic services, has officially announced the launch of an innovative pilot project, following a partnership with BTR Exchange (Bitcoin Romania) – the main Bitcoin and crypto platform in the country.

As part of this initiative, multiple BTC and crypto ATMs will be installed across the country for users to fuel their crypto accounts in the postal office network.

The first such BTC and crypto ATM is reportedly also installed inside the Postal Office no.1 in Tulcea, offering users the possibility to deposit cash in their crypto accounts on the Bitcoin Romania exchange.

This optimistic initiative in the country facilitates access to easy trading for BTC and crypto, boosting digital financial inclusion.

The official press release also states that four more postal offices in Alexandria, Piatra Neamț, Botoșani, and Nădlac will benefit from such ATMs as well.

This project mirrors the efforts of Poșta Română to integrate next-generation technology into its services and bring innovation closer to the Romanian citizens.

The initiative is part of a long-term strategy of Poșta Română to digitally transform and upgrade traditional services in the country. The company has proven in the past few years that it’s open to new technologies.

The Hope of a Better Future in Romania and Beyond

For instance, in 2022, it released the first official NFT of a public Romanian institution – a digital stamp dedicated to its 160 years of activity. A part of the collection was auctioned, and the funds were donated to the organization called HOSPICE House of Hope (Casa Speranței).

In 2023, the digitalization efforts continued with the launch of a collection of 100 NFTs and postcards dedicated to anticomunist heroes, made in collaboration with CNSAS, Humanitas Publishing House, and other cultural institutions in the country, under the umbrella campaign “Dignity and Courage.”

Among all these projects, the national company Poșta Română reaffirms its strong role as a modern public institution connected to the current technological reality, and it’s consolidating access to Romanian citizens to secure, rapid, and accessible financial solutions.

As we previously reported in our analysis on the State of the Crypto Market in Romania , the country continues to embrace Bitcoin and crypto, offering hope for a better future to millions of people.

This move taps into the country’s growing crypto market, reflecting a broader trend of Bitcoin adoption in countries that are fighting and seeking alternatives to unstable national currencies.
