American Marconi Wireless News - Athena Bitcoin Participated in Money Transmitter Regulators Association Annual Conference

Company showcased commitment to compliance, consumer protection and highlighted regulatory leadership and collaboration

MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / Athena Bitcoin, the number three global operator of bitcoin kiosks with over 3,000 machines in 34 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and 3 countries across Central and South America, participated in the 2025 Money Transmitter Regulators Association (MTRA) Annual Conference on September 9-11, 2025 in Louisville, KY.

Representing Athena was Chief Compliance Officer & Regulatory Counsel, Sam Nazzaro, and Business Analyst, Hans Telge. The MTRA conference serves as a premier forum for state money-transmitter regulators and industry leaders to discuss licensing, supervision, consumer protection, anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act (AML/BSA) compliance, and broader policy developments.

"Compliance and consumer protection are at the heart of Athena's mission to make Bitcoin accessible in a safe and responsible way," said Sam Nazzaro. "By engaging proactively with regulators and contributing to conversations around best practices, Athena is helping to strengthen trust in our industry while ensuring our customers have secure, transparent access to Bitcoin."

MTRA's mission closely aligns with Athena's consumer protection, safety and compliance standards, such as employing five attestation screens that appear during every transaction and require users to acknowledge critical information at multiple stages, such as confirming that the wallet belongs to them, recognizing common scam red flags, and verifying they are not acting under external pressure while empowering them to manage their assets outside traditional banking frameworks.

Athena's participation in MTRA's Annual Conference underscores the company's long-standing commitment to compliance leadership, regulatory collaboration, and consumer education. With one of the largest Bitcoin kiosk networks across the Americas, Athena continues to build the next generation of responsible Bitcoin access, while maintaining high standards of trust, transparency, and accessibility.
