City of Lugano to accept crypto for shops and businesses
While speaking at the Plan B event, Tether Chief Technical Officer (CTO), Paolo Ardoino, said that the city of Lugano has potential for crypto adoption, and thus Tether has established a three million-Swiss franc fund after teaming up with it. The two entities are aiming to encourage Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), and the LVGA token adoption for retailers and businesses around the city.Ardoino also added that Plan B also aims to attract talent from the crypto industry to Lugano and reiterated their ambitions about making it Europe's Bitcoin capital.
"We want to show that these tools, these instruments, these currencies that were created can actually be put to work in a [locally-controlled] vibrant environment like the city of Lugano."Michele Foletti, Lugano Mayor, said that the city has been involved in crypto and blockchain technology, and the current deal would help the city expand its fintech activities.
Tether said it would create a fund of up to 100 million Swiss francs as part of the deal to support blockchain-based entrepreneurs in the region and generate crypto unicorns or projects worth $1 billion.
Pay taxes with crypto
To boost the adoption of cryptocurrencies, the partnership also aims to enable citizens and firms to pay their taxes with crypto in the near future, pending multiple infrastructure projects and formal approvals. In addition to allowing crypto payments for taxes, the project is aiming to expand payments for ticket parking and tuition fees for students.The announcement says that the city's long-term goal is crypto adoption for payment of all goods and services, ultimately equating it with fiat currency.
Following the massive Bitcoin adoption by the Central American country, El Salvador, a number of cities and administrative divisions around the world have started allowing its residents for crypto payments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
