Zohran Mamdani Leads Polymarket Poll as Cuomo Pushes Crypto Hub Agenda
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani now holds a 93% probability of victory on Polymarket's prediction platform, dwarfing Andrew Cuomo's 6% odds. The surge follows Cuomo's campaign pledge to appoint a chief innovation officer focused on cementing NYC's status as a crypto and AI hub.
Cuomo's late-stage policy proposal aims to rally crypto-native voters, emphasizing blockchain's role in maintaining the city's economic leadership. "New York has always been the city that leads," Cuomo stated, drawing parallels between crypto adoption and historic financial innovations.
Republican contender Curtis Sliwa trails at 1% on the decentralized prediction market, reflecting crypto enthusiasts' apparent preference for progressive policies over traditional Republican platforms. The Polymarket data suggests Cuomo's crypto pivot may be too little, too late to sway the Web3 electorate.
