The digital currency ecosystem is becoming a vital subject of political campaigns in the United States, indicating the gradual emergence of the industry as a significant financial innovation.
Revealing his plans if elected, New York mayoral candidate Sliwa Curtis laid out his plans to make the city the most crypto-friendly in the country.
As part of his plans, Curtis said he would arrange for taxes, penalties and fees to be paid in Bitcoin in the state. “We will open more crypto ATMs and encourage businesses to accept cryptocurrencies. We must modernize our economy and make it accessible to ALL! “He said in a tweet.
Crypto-savvy Americans have shown solidarity with the digital currency ecosystem during the fiasco surrounding the $ 1,000 billion infrastructure bill. As the industry as a whole talks about the unrealistic provisions of the bill, many have learned just how badly the nation-grafted cryptocurrencies have become.
Curtis’s promise to institutionalize cryptocurrencies in the global financial epicenter is a sentiment shared by other candidates. Earlier this year, Blockchain.news reported that New York Democratic candidate for mayor Andrew Yang also had similar ambitions to transform the city into a hub for crypto and Bitcoin.
The efforts to reach them depend in large part on the quality of the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) relationship with Adrienne Harris, former senior advisor at public relations firm Brunswick Group.
She was appointed to head the agency. With favorable policies, cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin could thrive in New York City with either of these candidates if they win. The licenses granted to new businesses to operate services will be further improved.
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez is currently at the helm to make the city one of the most crypto-friendly cities in the country. Texas is also known as a crypto hub. If either of these mayoral candidates wins, we can start to see New York City for years to come.
