Cannes Set To Embrace #Crypto Payments This Summer


Most merchants in Cannes, France, will begin accepting cryptocurrency payments by summer 2025 as the city aims for 90% adoption among local businesses.


The initiative is designed to attract high-income tourists by modernizing the French Riviera's commercial payment ecosystem.


Lunu Pay founder Artem Shaginyan called this move "a big signal" that proves "crypto can work in everyday settings, not just online."


Mayor David Lisnard previously announced crypto payment training sessions for business owners to promote widespread acceptance.

Cannes joins other forward-thinking jurisdictions like Lugano, Colorado, Vancouver, and Panama City that have embraced digital assets for various municipal services.
