Bitcoin Adoption Boom: US Senator Ted Cruz Introduced Bill To Enable Crypto Payments on Capitol Hill

It’s been just revealed that more and more interesting actions are taking place that boost the mainstream adoption of digital assets. Check out the latest reports below.

US Senator Ted Cruz wants lawmakers in Washington D.C. to be able to purchase their vending-machine snacks using crypto assets.

Cruz submitted a resolution earlier this week that would require the Senate and the House of Representatives to only work with food service and vending machine contractors that accept crypto.

It’s important to note the fact that this resolution would apply to contractors interested in providing food services for the Capitol Complex.

The resolution would also officially “encourage the gift shops in such Capitol Buildings to accept digital assets as payment for goods.”

Cruz said the following in a press release:

“Cryptocurrency is generating new jobs, encouraging entrepreneurs to invent new values and creating new hedges against inflation, and presenting new opportunities.”

He continued and explained the following:

“It is also increasingly being used as a secure form of payment for goods and services. This is precisely why we, here at the United States Capitol, should increase accessibility and signal our support for the burgeoning cryptocurrency industry to those who visit Capitol Hill.”

Regarding the price of Bitcoin today, at the moment of writing this article, BTC is trading in the green, and the king coin is priced at $23,547.

It’s been just revealed that a popular crypto analyst stated the fact that Bitcoin (BTC) could continue its uptrend as he keeps a close eye on Litecoin (LTC) and three Ethereum-based (ETH) altcoins.

Pseudonymous trader Rekt Capital said recently that he expects BTC to continue rising as long its dominance level successfully retests a key level.
