Zohran Mamdani Takes a Swing at Cuomo’s Crypto Fiasco – Is This the End of Crypto?

by

Well, well, well, folks, it seems like NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has finally decided to throw his hat into the crypto ring. And let me tell you, he’s not playing nice. In his latest campaign ad, he took a mighty swing at former Governor Andrew Cuomo, accusing him of cozying up to a cryptocurrency exchange called OKX during a federal investigation. Ouch! 🔥

Ever since Trump decided to wear the “Crypto King” crown, accusations of corruption have been hot on the industry’s heels. And Zohran? Oh, he’s ready to turn that heat into some serious political fire, all at the expense of those poor, innocent crypto folks. 🧐

So, Will Zohran Drop the Crypto Hammer? 🤔

Since Zohran’s big win in the NYC mayoral primary in June, everyone’s been biting their nails wondering what his stance on crypto would be. Spoiler alert: It’s not looking good for the digital coin mafia.

Current Mayor Eric Adams has already staked his claim as the “crypto-loving mayor,” so it was a safe bet that Zohran might take a more… let’s say, “hostile” approach. His latest ad, which slams Cuomo, might just be the proof in the pudding. 🥧

“Who paid for Cuomo’s services? He refuses to say. But what journalists have pieced together is downright disturbing… Cuomo was advising a crypto exchange based in the Seychelles while it was under federal investigation,” Zohran fired back.

Now, let’s break this down: OKX, the exchange in question, was already facing federal charges in 2024. But here’s the kicker: Since Trump took office, crypto has been kinda getting a free pass, with enforcement more relaxed than your grandma’s discipline. 👵

Zohran might’ve tweeted about Cuomo’s cozy relationship with OKX back in April, but this ad? Oh, this is like going nuclear. The ad doesn’t just target Cuomo’s crypto dealings – it throws in his shady connections to Jeffrey Epstein, just for good measure. 💥

As a born-and-bred New Yorker, Zohran is all too aware of Trump’s shadow over local politics. Trump considered supporting Cuomo, and Zohran wasted no time capitalizing on this. The “Trump-endorsed” label doesn’t exactly fly in a blue city like NYC. And that Trump-Cuomo link? Yeah, it’s going to be a nice little target for Zohran’s campaign. 🎯

After all, we’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s crypto chaos can hurt Democrats. The more he distanced himself from crypto corruption, the better. 😜

Crypto’s Ugly Day of Reckoning? 😱

Zohran’s ad could signal a major turning point for the crypto industry. Under President Trump, we’ve seen backdoor deals, shady favors, and regulators who wouldn’t know an ethics violation if it hit them in the face. And guess what? Crypto helped make Trump a little richer. 😏

And Zohran? Well, Polymarket seems to think he’s got this election in the bag. If he keeps hammering away at crypto’s political corruption, we could be seeing a nationwide trend where other candidates follow suit. 🤦‍♂️

The crypto industry has more than enough to worry about. Sure, Trump won the popular vote in 2024, but you know how quickly politics can change. 🏃‍♂️

If Zohran decides to make crypto his anti-corruption campaign’s punching bag, he’s probably got a treasure trove of damning evidence. Better buckle up, folks, it’s going to be a bumpy ride! 🏰
