Golden Finance reports that Cannes Mayor David Lisnard is targeting the 2027 French presidential election, pushing the city to adopt cryptocurrency payments, and plans to make the EthCC (Ethereum Community Conference) a central issue next summer. According to Lisnard’s LinkedIn post shared by him, Lisnard said: “As part of our Web3 strategy, we will encourage and specifically train Cannes merchants to integrate cryptocurrencies for payments. Cannes will run from June 30 to July 3, 2025. The 8th Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC), the largest annual event for the Ethereum blockchain in Europe, means that a large number of potential customers who are accustomed to paying with cryptocurrencies will come to our city. EthCC attendees provide a map of ‘crypto-friendly’ merchants that is regularly updated and publicly posted.”
