Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams announces launch of "NYC Token"
PANews, January 13—According to Fortune magazine, former New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced a cryptocurrency initiative called “NYC Token,” aimed at raising funds to combat anti-Semitism, anti-American sentiment, and to educate children about blockchain technology. However, the specific details of the plan remain quite vague. At a brief press conference held in Times Square, Adams did not specify how the token would specifically counter anti-Semitism, nor did he disclose partners, issuance timeline, or how the funds would be used. Adams stated that he will not receive a salary from the project at this time, but may reassess in the future. During his term, Adams was a strong supporter of the crypto industry, but also faced controversy over ethics and conflicts of interest. The new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has stated that he will not purchase the token.
Additionally, according to information posted by Eric Adams on the X platform, NYC Token appears to have been launched on the Solana network, with its market capitalization briefly surging to $700 million before quickly falling back, and is now reported at $95.47 million.
