Back in late 2021, New York City Mayor-elect Eric Adams said he was ready to receive his first three salaries in cryptocurrency. In January 2022, the exchange rate fell by 50% from its historical high, and 11 months later by a total of 80%. However, he did not change his mind and did not sell the assets — in December 2024, when the BTC rate at that moment exceeded the $104,000 mark (50% higher than the 2021 highs), he recorded an answer to all his skeptics. Look at his happy face! But, of course, it wasn’t that simple. By law, Adams couldn’t receive his payments in digital assets, so his salary was converted on the Coinbase exchange and only then received in his personal wallet in the form of Bitcoin and Ethereum. As of 2025, the situation in the legal field has practically not changed — which raises the question: Could cryptocurrency wages become the standard of our future?

Also, what the changes depend on and what factors can directly affect, and what can be said about secondary factors.

As of March 2025, the global market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is $2.8 trillion, and the average time for an international financial transaction has been reduced from 3-5 days to 10 minutes thanks to the use of blockchain technology. But the main transformation is not in the jumps in the BTC rate, but in how cryptocurrencies are becoming an integral part of everyday financial transactions.

The recent delisting of the JELLY token from the Hyperliquid platform has sparked widespread discussion about the risks in decentralized finance (DeFi), as well as raised questions about market trust and transparency.
