What is Plan ₿

Lugano’s Plan ₿ is a joint initiative between the City of Lugano and Tether to accelerate the use of and leverage bitcoin technology as the foundation to transform the city’s financial infrastructure.
 
The plan will scale blockchain and Bitcoin throughout the city to positively impact all facets of daily life for the residents of Lugano. From small transactions with local merchants to larger efforts – such as paying annual taxes – blockchain will serve as the foundation for the city’s financial exchanges.
INVESTMENTS

Bitcoin & Blockchain  INVESTMENT POOL

100M+ CHF

Along with a consortium of committed partners, Tether is setting up a 100M+ Swiss Franc investment pool for startups to develop blockchain and bitcoin technology as well as to promote the relocation of existing businesses that will bring expertise, know-how and people to Lugano. Additionally, a 3M CHF investment fund will be allocated towards developing tools and solutions to help local businesses integrate Bitcoin, Tether and LVGA payments.
EDUCATION

Bitcoin & decentralised technologies courses

500+ GRANTS

Thanks to strategic collaborations with local universities, we will launch specialised training courses to foster education in bitcoin and blockchain technologies. Additionally, we will award 500+ grants to equip students and young workers so they are ready to fulfill the vast demands of blockchain-related roles and contribute to the growth of a new and exciting industry in Lugano.
