New Hampshire Voters Want Lawmakers to Implement Better Protections Against Cryptocurrency Kiosk Fraud

As scams and fraud involving cryptocurrency kiosks continue to rise, many states are considering legislation to make it harder for criminals to steal people’s money and easier for residents to protect themselves. A December 2025 AARP survey found that an overwhelming majority of New Hampshire residents support a range of protections against fraud and scams that use cryptocurrency kiosks (80% to 90% support each protection). The survey also found that two in three (64%) residents are concerned about the risks associated with cryptocurrency kiosks, while more than 4 in 5 (84%) think it is important that New Hampshire have rules or regulations for cryptocurrency ATMs. ​

Methodology

This poll of 1,002 New Hampshire residents age 18 and older was fielded December 4 through 20, 2025, using Aristotle listed telephone sample. Interviews were conducted by landline and cell phone, utilizing live interviewers as well as text-to-web (TTW) data collection modalities. All data are weighted by age, gender, race/ethnicity, region, education, and AARP membership (50-plus) to reflect the New Hampshire 18-plus voter population.
