My Opinion
Since the introduction of cryptocurrency, adoption has been a major factor that its users seek, and news like this clearly triggers further adoption. In other words, when there are easy mechanisms and tools in place to foster the use of cryptocurrency (thereby making its usage simple), more awareness is created, with more users coming on board to make use of it due to its availability.
