The picturesque Spanish city of Torrevieja is positioning itself as a pioneer in adopting a ‘crypto-friendly’ digital economy. The Association of Small and Medium Enterprises of Torrevieja (APYMECO) is at the forefront of this ambitious venture, with a comprehensive plan to integrate blockchain technology into the local commerce sector.

APYMECO’s strategy unfolds in several stages. The first phase focuses on integrating cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange for local commerce.

The birth of the next generation cryptocurrency city?

The initiative bridges the gap between the traditional and digital economies by paving the way for payment for goods and services using various cryptocurrencies.

Rosario Martínez Chazarra, Executive Committee member, emphasizes that this development is an important step towards modernizing local businesses and catering to the growing population of cryptocurrency users.

APYMECO President Jorge Almarcha also spoke highly of the project in a statement (translated).

“Payments with cryptocurrency have been legal in Spain since 2015. But even today, there has been no desire to democratize its use as a payment method in general commerce, neighborhood commerce, or traditional commerce.”

Spain has been seeing an increase in cryptocurrency ownership and availability over the past few years. According to Statista’s 2021-2022 survey, 17% of respondents claimed to own or use cryptocurrency.

At the same time, Lugano, Switzerland, has set a precedent in introducing digital currency for city transactions. This move, a strategic part of Lugano’s “Plan B”, is revolutionizing the city’s financial system by enabling the payment of taxes and other municipal fees with Bitcoin and Tether.

Armin Schmid, Chief Product Officer at Bitcoin Suisse, highlighted the importance of this trend, noting that cryptocurrency payment adoption is increasing in Swiss municipalities.

“We are pleased to see that more and more Swiss municipalities are offering cryptocurrency payments as an option available to citizens and businesses alike, complementing traditional payment methods such as post office counters and e-banking platforms.”

El Salvador is also not far behind in the cryptocurrency competition. The Central American country is reigniting its Bitcoin ambitions with plans to build a tax-free Bitcoin City. The plan, promoted by President Nayib Bukele, is a bold move against the traditional financial system, offering citizenship to foreigners who donate cryptocurrency to government projects.

The city aims to utilize geothermal energy for Bitcoin mining. This could potentially boost the country’s economy following the next Bitcoin halving in April 2024.

This convergence of global efforts marks a paradigm shift toward a digital economy. As Torrevieja embarks on this journey, it joins a league of forward-thinking cities reimagining the future of finance.
