As announced earlier, Adams shall be converting his paycheck from U.S. Dollars to Bitcoin and Ethereum. The fund conversion will happen via Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the country. In the press release coming from his office, the New York City Mayor writes:

“New York is the center of the world, and we want it to be the center of cryptocurrency and other financial innovations. Being on the forefront of such innovation will help us create jobs, improve our economy, and continue to be a magnet for talent from all over the globe.”

Eric Adams won the Mayor seat for New York City last year in November 2021. From the very beginning, Adams has been holding a pro-Bitcoin and pro-crypto stand. Soon after winning the elections, Adams set up the precedence announcing that he shall be converting his first paycheck in crypto.

A number of other U.S. politicians like Cynthia Lummis have extended support for crypto and also invested in top assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
