New York's Crypto Crowd Bets on Cuomo for Mayor

New York City, USAThu Oct 30 2025
A group called Innovate NY, which loves digital money, has put its weight behind Andrew Cuomo for New York City's mayor. They think he's the best pick because he talks about blockchain and AI. This group has some money, about $100, 000, and they're using it to support Cuomo. They even spent $30, 000 on flyers to back Cuomo and criticize another candidate, Zohran Mamdani. The mayoral race is heating up, and the crypto world is watching. Voters have to choose between Cuomo, Mamdani, and Curtis Sliwa. Cuomo is trying to win over crypto fans by promising to create an Innovation Council. Mamdani, on the other hand, is focusing on everyday issues like housing and childcare. Current Mayor Eric Adams has been a big supporter of crypto. He's done a lot, like hosting a crypto summit and setting up a digital assets office. But now, it's time for a new mayor, and the crypto crowd is hoping Cuomo will keep the momentum going.
