I still think this news is a fake news, because I haven't found any connection to this news.
Yes, they have announced that they are not accepting cryptocurrencies but they are engaging to crypto related activities. Some of their store partners are accepting it so these hype makers in general made their statements that Samsung is the one that accepts it.
If this is true, it is good news for the market as a whole, because samsung is a large company in Korea, so it is helpful for marketing propaganda.
One reputed company that accepts crypto and has wide influence in the industry has a very large impact in the market.
