At the time, UNFI and Coin Cloud had partnered on 80 contracts with retailers.

    "Our growth is a tangible representation of interest in digital currencies and of Coin Cloud’s mission to provide communities with seamless options to buy and sell,” said Chris McAlary, Coin Cloud founder and CEO, in a press release.

    Separately, Coin Cloud has also struck a partnership with the National Alliance of Trade, which supports over 6,000 convenience retail stores.

    Coin Cloud machines offer access to over 30 cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, ethereum, dogecoin and a number of stablecoins and decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens. The seven-year-old company has kiosks in 47 U.S. states and Brazil.
