Odaily Planet Daily News New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced on Tuesday (May 20) that New York City will establish a digital asset advisory committee aimed at bringing fintech jobs to New York. Adams said at a summit held at the mayor's official residence, Gracie Mansion, that the committee will be composed of industry experts and the chairman will be announced in the coming weeks.
Adams emphasized that the move is to "use future technology to better serve today's New Yorkers." In addition to commercial interests, New York City will also explore putting birth and death records on the chain to help New Yorkers' next of kin more easily access these documents.
It is reported that participants in the summit include family offices and unicorn startups. Republic co-CEO Andrew Durgee said that despite regulatory issues, his company has remained in New York, while some other companies have left the United States. (CoinDesk)
