Adams said blockchain could secure vital records, keeping documents private while ensuring families have easy access.

New York Mayor Eric Adams announced the creation of a digital assets advisory council to attract fintech jobs and investment to Manhattan at the opening of the inaugural NYC Crypto Summit on Tuesday.

“My goal remains the same as it was day-one as mayor, making New York City the crypto capital of the globe,” said Adams. He added that the council’s chair and its initial policy recommendations will be named in the coming weeks.
