On May 2, PANews reported that a congressman from Texas proposed that government officials consider installing cryptocurrency ATMs in federal buildings across the country. Congressman Lance Gooden wrote to Stephen Ehikian, the acting administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). The GSA is the agency responsible for managing U.S. government property. Lance Gooden claimed that introducing cryptocurrency ATMs in federal buildings would serve as an 'educational resource' and reflect advancements in financial technology. He suggested that the GSA begin researching the necessary guidelines and regulations for installing such ATMs in government-controlled properties nationwide, and noted that this aligns with President Donald Trump's objectives.
