According to Fox News, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has endorsed a rising progressive candidate in the New York City Democratic primary, aiming to challenge frontrunner Andrew Cuomo (Fox News, June 5, 2025). This development could influence the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies in New York, a major financial hub. Traders should monitor candidates' positions on digital asset policies, as a progressive victory could lead to more favorable crypto regulations and potentially boost local crypto market sentiment.
