<> It might be the first in Caracas but it's not the first in Venezueala
A month ago this one was set up:
https://coinatmradar.com/bitcoin_teller/9457/bitcoin-teller-bitcoin-teller-san-antonio-del-tachira-viajes-e-inversiones-hc/
<>

Technically, the one installed in San Antonio del Tachira is a BTM, not an ATM, and therefore does not technically count as an ATM in some inventories that are made on ATMs worldwide.

The BTM is installed by Panda BTM, and is a portable device similar to those used to pay with your credit card at a store. The idea here is that the shop teller assists you in the purchase, and you end up paying in cash (although I have seen a video where both customer and seller use their fingerprints to access the device, so there may be some account related method that is not currently listed in Panda BTMs website it states cash).

See https://www.bitcoin.com.mx/panda-btm-coloca-el-primer-cajero-automatico-de-bitcoins-en-venezuela/ (in Spanish) and https://pandabtm.io (English selectable).

The one I mentioned yesterday that was installed in Caracas, is a "conventional" BATM, and is installed by a company that apparently is registered to the SUNACRIP (government authority in Venezuela that is responsible for all crypto-related regulation there).
