Todd Morley Plans to Build Blockchain Tower in Manhattan: Report

Todd Morley, the co-founder and former executive of financial-services firm Guggenheim Partners, is to build a blockchain tower in midtown Manhattan.

• The New York City tower will incorporate a wireless network aiming to improve access to digital ledgers, and will be built by JDS Development Group in partnership with Overline, which Morley chairs, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
• Anyone within a certain radius of the tower would have access to blockchains, irrespective of their cellular or internet connection.
• The plan is for the network to be made available on more skyscrapers, including some outside of Manhattan.
• “This one building will be able to connect – sort of like a hand radio operator – everyone in New York City to a crypto trading wireless communication,” Morley told Bloomberg.
• Overline “has developed a new way to decentralize communication – wireless communication – that could be used at the speed that would even allow crypto mining," he said.
