New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced a series of initiatives to integrate cryptocurrency into city services and education. Speaking at the Brooklyn Permissionless Conference, Adams outlined plans to enable crypto payments for city services and introduce digital asset education in schools. He also proposed forming a city council to advocate for crypto-friendly policies. Criticizing former Governor Andrew Cuomo's regulatory approach, Adams pledged to advance his Bitcoin-backed municipal bond plan despite opposition from the city comptroller. Adams, who has received his mayoral salary in Bitcoin, confirmed his candidacy for the upcoming mayoral election as an independent.
