The Mayor of Cannes announces plans to encourage local businesses to adopt cryptocurrency payment systems, in preparation for the 2027 presidential election
The Mayor of Cannes, David Lisnard, announced on his LinkedIn account that he is promoting the integration of cryptocurrency payment systems for businesses in the city and will host the 8th Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) from June 30 to July 3, 2025.
On February 4, the city government will provide local merchants with training in crypto payment technology, law, accounting and taxation at the Palais des Festivals de Cannes. They also plan to release a "crypto-friendly" merchant map. As a three-time World Tourism Festival city, this EthCC event in Cannes is expected to attract more than 6,500 registered participants with a total participation of up to 10,000 people including parallel activities. This move by Lisnard is considered as positioning for France's presidential election in 2027.
