Vancouver has decided to abandon a proposal to make the city bitcoin-friendly, including plans to hold BTC as part of its municipal reserves. Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim had championed the initiative, but city officials determined that local bylaws prohibit the municipal government from holding Bitcoin as an investment asset. Meanwhile, Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital, has gained recognition as a crypto-friendly city with over 150 crypto ATMs and numerous businesses accepting crypto payments. However, Slovenia introduced a 25% tax on personal crypto gains starting in 2026, which some observers say could slow innovation and adoption in the region.
