Detroit will soon allow residents to pay taxes and other city fees in cryptocurrency via PayPal, expected to launch in mid-2025. This initiative positions Detroit as the largest U.S. city to accept crypto payments, following smaller cities like Miami Lakes, Florida, and Williston, South Dakota. The specific cryptocurrencies to be accepted have not yet been confirmed, but PayPal supports a limited selection including bitcoin, ethereum, and its own stablecoin, PayPal USD. Mayor Mike Duggan highlighted the city’s efforts to create a technology-friendly environment to attract blockchain companies and innovation. Furthermore, Detroit is inviting crypto entrepreneurs to propose blockchain-based civic applications to enhance transparency and improve public services, signaling a broader commitment to embracing new technologies.
