The machine will let users swap cash for Bitcoins or turn the cyber currency back into Canadian dollars.
So far, Bitcoins are only accepted at a small number of Vancouver businesses, but the list is growing.
Bitcoiniacs is the name of the company behind the ATM.
They list around a dozen Vancouver businesses on their website that accept the currency, including Waves.
The company plans to install four more ATMs across Canada later this year.
