Mayor Steve Adler of Austin, Texas, has proposed two new Crypto initiatives. The first initiative aims to ensure that Texas’s fourth-largest city gets benefits from Blockchain technologies. The second initiative orders the City Manager to conduct a “fact-finding study” on how the city could adopt Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency-related policies. Through these efforts, Mayor appears to explore capabilities to accept Bitcoin as a payment option and integrate Web3 applications to improve residents' lives.
