As part of the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami, Mayor Francis Suarez unveiled a “crypto bull” statue. To him, the installation symbolizes the city’s transformation into the “world capital of the crypto industry.”
“New York old financial center… I give you the Miami bull!”

“The future of finance is in Miami, and the capital of the capital now has its own bull” – Wrote Suarez is on Twitter.
The installation is a nod to the famous “Charging Bull” set up on Wall Street.
Unlike its New York “relative”, the bull from Miami is made in a cybernetic style and already has the famous “laser eyes”. Representatives of traditional finance also found another key difference.

In August 2021, the MiamiCoin project was launched in Miami. The city token was developed by CityCoins and aims to provide additional income to the budget.
In February 2022, Suarez announced that the city government had received the first payment of $5.25 million from CityCoins.
I am so excited to announce that it is. @CityofMiami received its first payment in its history. @mineCityCoins a total of $5.25 million.
This is a historic moment for our city to collaborate with an innovative project that generates resources through innovation, not taxation.

Recall that in November 2021 CityCoins announced that it will launch a similar product for New York.
