Cuomo + Crypto = NYC’s Next Mayor? 🤑🤖

by

Well, butter my biscuit and call me confused! 🧈 Innovate NY, a group that’s basically the cool kid in the “pro-digital assets” club, just threw their $100,000 worth of weight behind Andrew Cuomo for NYC mayor. Yes, THAT Andrew Cuomo. The guy who’s running as an independent because, let’s face it, he’s got more comebacks than a 90s boy band. 🎤

In a move that screams “we’re serious about blockchain but also kind of dramatic,” Innovate NY endorsed Cuomo on Tuesday. Their agenda? Blockchain, tokenization, stablecoins, and AI. Basically, they want NYC to be the Silicon Valley of the East Coast, but with more pizza and fewer hoodies. 🍕💻

Here’s the kicker: this group, registered as an independent spender (fancy!), got $99,500 from six people through two companies. That’s right, six people. Six. Not six million, not six hundred, SIX. And what did they do with it? Spent $30,000 on a flyer to support Cuomo and throw shade at Zohran Mamdani, who’s currently leading in the polls. Because nothing says “I believe in the future” like a good old-fashioned smear campaign. 📢

Crypto and Cuomo, a match made in... somewhere?

The NYC mayoral race is basically the Super Bowl of politics right now, and everyone in the crypto world is watching like it’s the season finale of their favorite show. 🎬 Voters will pick between Mamdani, Cuomo, and Curtis Sliwa on Nov. 4. Spoiler alert: it’s gonna be a wild ride. 🚀

Cuomo’s been trying to woo crypto voters in the final weeks of his campaign, promising an Innovation Council with advisory committees for crypto, AI, and biotech. Meanwhile, Mamdani’s over here like, “Guys, can we talk about childcare and affordable housing first?” Priorities, people! 🏠👶

Mayor Eric Adams’ Crypto Swan Song 🎶

Let’s not forget current Mayor Eric Adams, who’s been on a crypto kick like he’s trying to earn a Bitcoin badge. 🏅 He hosted a crypto summit, set up a digital advisory council, and even signed an executive order to create a digital assets office. Basically, he’s the crypto prom king, but his reign is almost over. 👑
