Mayor Eric Adams’ bold move: New York has established its first city office dedicated solely to blockchain and digital assets. This innovative initiative, signed by the Mayor on Tuesday, is set to drive responsible integration of blockchain technology across the city’s financial and public sectors while fostering collaboration between the crypto industry, state regulators, and federal agencies. Moises Rendon, who has dedicated over a year to these initiatives, will lead the office. The new department aims to leverage blockchain for economic growth, attract global talent, expand financial access for underserved communities, and solidify New York’s position as a hub for compliant and value-driven crypto innovation.
