Satoshi Nakamoto statue lands on NYSE in sign of changing times
There are five other Satoshi statues made by Valentina Picozzi located around the world, in Switzerland, El Salvador, Japan, Vietnam and Miami, in the US state of Florida.
The New York Stock Exchange has just become the sixth home for Valentina Picozzi’s “disappearing” Satoshi Nakamoto statue — a massive contrast to just a few years ago, when crypto was seen as taboo on Wall Street.
The NYSE is considered a center of traditional financial institutions, and the inclusion of a Nakamoto statue marks it as “shared ground between emerging systems and established institutions,” the stock exchange said in an X post on Wednesday.
The statue was installed by Bitcoin (BTC) company Twenty One Capital, which launched for trading this week; however, the design is the brainchild of artist Valentina Picozzi, who said on X, under her Satoshigallery handle, that her latest creation coming to such a prominent location is “Mind-blowing.”
