US Senator Ted Cruz wants Washington DC lawmakers to be able to buy their snacks from vending machines using crypto assets.
Cruz submitted a resolution earlier this week that would require the Senate and House of Representatives to only work with food service and vending machine providers that accept cryptocurrencies.
The resolution would apply to contractors interested in providing catering services for the Capitol complex.
The resolution would also officially encourage “gift shops in these Capitol Buildings to accept digital assets as payment for goods.”
Said Cruz in a press release,
“Cryptocurrency generates new jobs, encourages entrepreneurs to invent new values and creates new hedges against inflation, and presents new opportunities. It is also increasingly used as a secure form of payment for goods. This is precisely why we here at the United States Capitol should increase accessibility and signal our support for the thriving cryptocurrency industry to those who visit Capitol Hill.
The resolution was referred to the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration.
It wasn’t the only crypto legislation to burst into the US this week. In the New York State Assembly, Democrat Clyde Vanel introduced a bill that would allow state agencies to accept payments from digital assets.
