It seems like We now have the first US presidential candidate who accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum, members of Congress revealing their crypto holdings.

Andrew Yang, the “Humanity First” candidate for president, is now accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum and all ERC20 tokens to help support his bid for the US presidency. Supporters can donate to the American entrepreneur’s campaign by following the link for Yang 2020.

It is not a bad thing, but it does not really matter. Politicians can say whatever they like as long as they want to reach specific target population anyway. However, if true, it makes a lot of sense to have someone who is a crypto enthusiast in power as that could actually bring about some positivity for the space in terms of further development around legalization and probable regulations as the case may be within the US. Something like this can easily send signals to the minds of some, but nothing too particular to instigate huge market movement upwards.
