SPAR has initiated Bitcoin payments at its Zug store, utilizing the Lightning Network via DFX Swiss's OpenCryptoPay for instant checkout transactions. This move underscores Switzerland's leadership in Bitcoin integration, particularly in "Crypto Valley". Meanwhile, Lugano's Plan ₿ aims to establish Bitcoin as legal tender, allowing payments for various public services. The simplicity of transactions, highlighted by Bitcoin Association Switzerland's director, indicates a push for consumer accessibility. With a supportive banking sector, other Swiss cities are following Zug and Lugano's lead, enhancing Bitcoin's presence in daily commerce.
