The city of Cannes is set to become the French capital of cryptocurrency payments! Under the leadership of Mayor David Lisnard, the famous seaside resort is embarking on a bold digital transformation that could redefine its economic future. đïžđ§
On February 4, 2025, a large training session will be held at the Palais des Festivals et des CongrĂšs. The goal: to introduce local merchants to cryptocurrency payments. đŒđČ Industry experts, lawyers, and accountants will be present to answer all legal, technical, and tax questions. An initiative aimed at preparing the city to host the Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) from June 30 to July 3, 2025, which will bring together over 10,000 crypto enthusiasts. đđ„
The icing on the cake, the Palais des Festivals becomes the very first French conference center to accept crypto payments! An interactive map of 'crypto-friendly' businesses will also be launched to make life easier for visitors who are fans of Web3. đșïžđïž
With this ambitious strategy, Cannes positions itself not only as a top tourist destination but also as a key player in digital innovation in France. A Croisette 3.0 is on the way! đ„đ«đ·
