Cuomo’s Crypto Push Struggles to Shift NYC Mayoral Race Dynamics
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo recently unveiled a proposal aimed at positioning New York City as a leading hub for cryptocurrency and emerging technologies. However, with just weeks remaining before the Mayoral election, Cuomo continues to trail Democratic frontrunner Zohran Mamdani by a significant margin. On Sunday, Cuomo’s campaign revealed plans to establish a new city office dedicated to attracting businesses in innovation sectors such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. As part of the initiative, Cuomo would appoint a chief innovation officer within the city administration and create an Innovation Council comprising industry leaders from the targeted fields.
