Eric Adams to Speak at Bitcoin 2025 Conference Following NYC Crypto Summit
Mayor Highlights Economic Potential of Cryptocurrency
Las Vegas, NV – May 27, 2025 – New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced that he will be attending the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas as a featured speaker. This announcement comes just a week after he hosted the city’s first-ever Crypto Summit, where he reaffirmed his commitment to the cryptocurrency sector as a catalyst for economic growth.
During the upcoming conference, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, Mayor Adams will join an impressive lineup of speakers, including tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and Vice President J.D. Vance. The event expects to attract widespread attention, with over 400 speakers participating.
In a statement from his office, Adams expressed enthusiasm for the prospects of cryptocurrency, stating, “I smell money, crypto, crypto, blockchain and all the good things.” His remarks at the New York City Crypto Summit emphasized the potential of blockchain technology to foster innovation and economic opportunities. "Thank all of you for gracing us with your presence, for being here, just really thank you," he added.
Mayor Adams is scheduled to deliver a speech on Wednesday at 6:30 PM in a seminar titled “The Trust Layer & the Divine Algorithm.” This seminar aims to explore decentralized ethical artificial intelligence (DEAI), trust architecture, and decentralized finance (DeFi), offering insights into how these elements can transform financial systems.
The Las Vegas conference follows closely on the heels of shifts in the cryptocurrency landscape and recent regulatory discussions, further highlighting the critical role of conversation and innovation in the industry. Notably, an event invitation revealed that Vice President J.D. Vance is also set to appear at the conference, coinciding with a high-dollar fundraiser in the city.
When questioned about whether taxpayer funds were being used to finance the mayor’s trip, Adams’ office did not immediately respond. However, reports from the New York Post indicate that City Hall has classified the trip as "official business" related to his mayoral duties.
As Mayor Adams prepares for this significant engagement in the cryptocurrency space, the broader implications for New York City’s economic strategy remain to be seen. With continued dialogue and investment in technology, the mayor’s presence at such high-profile events underscores his administration’s focus on positioning the city as a leader in innovation.
