 <p class="is-style-lead">Busan, the second-largest city in South Korea, is embarking on an ambitious project to become a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="blockchain" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/blockchain.html">blockchain</a> city.</p> 
 <p>The project aims to integrate various <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="blockchain" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/blockchain.html">blockchain</a>-based services from different platforms into one unified platform that will power the city’s development.</p> 
 <p>The development has a budget of $75 million and is led by the Busan Digital Asset Exchange Establishment Promotion Plan and Future Schedule Plan. The initiative will be compatible with leading blockchain platforms like Ethereum and Cosmos.</p> 
 <p>Busan is working with the Blockchain Innovation Fund (BIF) to fund the project, which supports <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="blockchain" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/blockchain.html">blockchain</a> projects in the city. The BIF will raise funds from various financial institutions interested in investing in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="blockchain" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/blockchain.html">blockchain</a> technology.</p>

Moreover, the government plans to implement <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="blockchain" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/blockchain.html">blockchain</a> technology for customs clearance, property transactions, and even tracking the history of cattle.</p> 
 <p>Busan is demonstrating its commitment to embracing digital innovation by pursuing its <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="blockchain" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/blockchain.html">blockchain</a> vision.
