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.

Benfica, Portugal’s most successful club, appointed the 62-year-old as their new manager on Thursday, just three weeks after he was fired by Turkish giants Fenerbahce after just over a year in charge. It marks an emotional return for Mourinho, who began his coaching career with the Lisbon giants in 2000, managing 11 matches before resigning. By the time he left Portugal for England just under four years later, his star was in the ascendency. As he introduced himself to the English media for the first time, Mourinho famously described himself as the “Special One”. It was a revealing remark, typical of a man whose confidence bordered on arrogance at times. Crucially, it was also borne out by results. In two seasons at Porto, Mourinho won two league titles, the UEFA Cup and the Champions League. Seven league titles across England, Italy and Spain with Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid followed, along with another Champions League crown and seven domestic cups across three countries. The Europa League and the Europa Conference League have also been added to Mourinho’s trophy cabinet, the former with…
