Mike Bird, reporter at The Wall Street Journal, observes that both the mayor who preceded Mamdani and Mamdani's closest competitor have become involved in the crypto sector since their time in political roles.
Bird highlights the trend of local political figures transitioning into the cryptocurrency space.
Bird has previously noted that outrage over Lip-Bu Tan's Chinese shareholdings subsided after the stock price rose fivefold. He also reported that coverage of TSMC has declined as new AI bottleneck stories emerged, even as TSMC stock posted strong gains post-tariffs. These reports reflect Bird's focus on notable shifts in market participation and sector attention.
