PANews reported on January 13th that, according to Fortune magazine, former New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced a cryptocurrency project called "NYC Token," aimed at raising funds to combat anti-Semitism and anti-American sentiment, and to educate children about blockchain technology. However, specific details of the project remain quite vague. At a brief launch event in Times Square, Adams did not specify how the token would specifically combat anti-Semitism, nor did he disclose partners, launch date, or how funds would be used. Adams stated that he will not currently receive a salary from the project, but may reassess it in the future. Adams was a strong supporter of the crypto industry during his presidency, but has also been controversial due to ethical and conflict-of-interest issues. New Mayor Zohran Mamdani has stated that he will not purchase the token.

According to information posted by Eric Adams on the X platform, the NYC Token appears to have been launched on the Solana network. Its market value briefly surged to $700 million before quickly falling back, and is currently trading at $95.47 million.

The post Cardano Eyes $1.50, While $0.0058 Layer Brett Targets $1 in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 24 September 2025 | 14:42 Crypto is heating up again, and traders are hunting for the next 100x altcoin before the 2025 crypto bull run really kicks in. Right now, two names keep coming up: ADA and Layer Brett ($LBRETT). The hype around ADA price prediction has investors cautiously optimistic, while Layer Brett’s crypto presale has created full-blown FOMO. At just $0.0058, $LBRETT has already raised over $4m, offering early backers a rare shot at life-changing returns in a short window. Historical performance: How ADA and Layer Brett compare When you look at ADA alongside memecoin projects like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and the original Brett, the differences stand out. ADA has been in the top altcoins conversation for years, with an all-time high of $3.10 that still gives long-term holders confidence. But meme token projects have mostly pumped without any real substance. This is where Layer Brett flips the script. Instead of being just another meme token, it’s an Ethereum Layer 2 project built for real utility, fast transactions, low gas fees, and staking crypto rewards. With speed topping 10,000 TPS, it delivers what congested chains can’t. Compared to ADA’s slower, research-heavy roadmap, $LBRETT is built to move fast and capture immediate opportunities. Technology and use cases driving Layer Brett The backbone of Layer Brett is its Layer 2 blockchain design. Transactions are anchored to Ethereum for security but processed off-chain for scale and low gas fees. That means users can buy and stake in seconds using ETH, USDT, or BNB, no KYC required. The staking rewards are where things get wild. Early participants are seeing around 630% APY, with incentives expected to cool as more tokens are locked. On top of that, features like NFT integrations and cross-chain bridging are already planned, giving $LBRETT both meme energy…
