As he has done numerous times before, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Thursday rejected the notion that democratic socialism has limited appeal outside of progressive urban centers by asserting that his worker-centered policies are aimed at uplifting the nation’s biggest demographic cohort—working people and their families.

Mamdani appeared on “CBS Mornings” and was asked what grade he’d give himself after 100 days leading the world’s most important city.

“You know, I’ll always leave it to New Yorkers to give me the grade but I will say that I’m proud of what the team has accomplished over the 100 days,” Mamdani told “CBS Mornings” hosts Gayle King and Vladimir Duthiers. “I mean, we saw $1.2 billion secured in a partnership with Gov. [Kathy] Hochul to deliver universal childcare in our city.”

“We held bad landlords accountable for $32 millon, fixed 6,070 apartments,” he added. “We filled 102,000 potholes and we did all of this while also returning $9.3 million back to workers and small businesses that have been ripped off by megacorporations.”

Duthiers asked whether “a democratic socialist platform can translate into something that’s electorally viable in a statewide election or a national election given that, according to Gallup, many older and rural voters still have issues with the term, with the label, socialist.”

Mamdani replied: “You know, what I find is that New Yorkers ask me less about how I describe my politics and more about whether my politics includes them, and I think what we can see is that a democratic socialist politics is one that should be judged on its delivery, like any ideology. And what we’re showing in this city is we can we can pursue the big things like universal childcare and do the pothole politics at the same time.”

“I think that this is a politics that can flourish anywhere,” he added, “because frankly there is only one majority in this country that’s the working class and it’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what it is that we’re pursuing and not as part of the appendix.”

Turning to the illegal US-Israeli war of choice against Iran, Mamdani lamented that “we’re talking about spending close to $30 billion to kill thousands of people an ocean away while we’re told that we don’t have even an ounce of that money to help working-class Americans across this country.”

According to a Marist poll published earlier this month, 48% of New Yorkers approved of Mamdani’s overall performance, while 30% disapproved and 23% are unsure. A majority of respondents—55%—“have either a very favorable or somewhat favorable view of the mayor, and 33% have either a somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable opinion.”

A majority of respondents also said the city is heading in the right direction under Mamdani, while nearly three-quarters believe the mayor is “working hard,” and 58% “have a great deal or a good amount of trust in Mayor Mamdani to make decisions that are in the best interest of New York City.”

Previous polling has also shown that Mamdani’s economic policies are popular across the country.

Responding to Mamdani’s “CBS Mornings” appearance, the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) shared its newly published “Majority Agenda,” a “roadmap” to passing policies that most Americans see as major priorities to improve their lives.

“The Majority Agenda is a collection of policy briefs on important issues where Americans generally have broad agreement across the political landscape,” CEPR explained. “The project organizes these reports into three main areas: good jobs, strong infrastructure, and fair play.”

“We’re not as divided as some media and politicians want us to believe,” CEPR contended.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
