Zohran Mamdani Calls Andrew Cuomo’s Crypto Push a Conflict of Interest

Zohran Mamdani has criticized Andrew Cuomo's ties to the cryptocurrency industry, calling them a conflict of interest amid the New York City mayoral race. Polymarket shows Cuomo with a 6% chance of winning, while Mamdani holds 93% odds. Cuomo announced plans to appoint a Chief Innovation Officer to advance blockchain, AI and biotech initiatives in the city. The move comes after Mayor Eric Adams ended his re-election campaign in late September.
