New York Mayor Eric Adams to Crypto Industry: Come Build an Empire in NYC (www.coindesk.com)

“This is the Empire State,” Adams said at a press briefing at Gracie Mansion on Monday. “We should be looking forward to building empires, particularly in the crypto space.”

Adams, who is running for reelection, reiterated his commitment to making New York City a crypto hub, telling reporters that he would work with tech and crypto companies, both big and small, to create a friendly environment to attract them and help them succeed.

“My goal remains the same as it was on day one as mayor: making New York City the crypto capital of the globe,” Adams said. His remarks echo similar pledges from President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly said he wants to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet.”

I think it's a constitutional block that prevents her, somehow.

From everything I've read, the New York constitution allows her to remove him since he has been charged. Though it may be too late now.

The common theory is she didn't want a special election that Cuomo could win without going through a primary.

Maybe. I'll try to search later this week. Thanks.
