Now, amid the growth of the market, he said with a grin: "And now who's laughing?"
But he didn't stop there — Adams confirmed that he still intends to make New York a global crypto capital. He invited blockchain companies to develop business in the metropolis and announced the first NYC Crypto Summit, which will be held on May 20.
I was the first mayor in the United States to receive a salary in cryptocurrency. And I will make New York the crypto capital of the world.
