From Mayor to Cryptocurrency Salesman: A Clash of Politics and Business

Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams has swiftly transitioned from public office to promoting a New York City-themed cryptocurrency just weeks after leaving his position. Smiling and enthusiastic, Adams advocated for blockchain technology and claimed he would not initially profit from the venture. He criticized his successor, Zohran Mamdani, for policy reversals and highlighted his plans to leverage his municipal experience—including expertise in areas like garbage collection—as marketable "professional capital" abroad. Adams, known for his unorthodox style, has been active internationally, meeting with foreign leaders and business figures in Dubai, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Senegal. His post-mayoral activities appear focused on rehabilitating his reputation, attacking his political opponents, and addressing personal legal debts. The cryptocurrency project, named NYC Token, is framed as a philanthropic effort to combat antisemitism and anti-Americanism while promoting blockchain education. However, the token’s website faced technical issues, with purchase links non-functional at launch. Adams also expressed interest in exporting New York’s public services expertise globally but affirmed he has no plans to leave the city permanently.
