On July 1, 2024, the city of Lugano in Switzerland launched the Plan ₿ Biz School, a summer program aimed at educating students about Bitcoin and blockchain technologies. This one-week program offers both online and offline classes, making it accessible to a wide audience.
With over 300 blockchain experts conducting seminars and networking events, the initiative stands out for its comprehensive approach to education. The program also includes 500 student grants and a $110 million investment pool to support blockchain startups.
Lugano has already integrated cryptocurrency into daily life, accepting Bitcoin and USDT for bill payments since December 2023. Bitcoin is currently trading near $60,350, reflecting increasing market confidence. By investing in education and infrastructure, Lugano is setting a global precedent for cryptocurrency adoption and integration. This initiative underscores the city’s forward-thinking approach and promises significant advancements for both residents and the broader crypto community.
