Gelephu Mindfulness City, Bhutan’s new SAR, adopts BTC, ETH, and BNB into reserves for the dual purpose of increasing blockchain adoption and strengthening economic resilience.
Gelephu Mindfulness City, Bhutan’s fresh new Special Administrative Region (SAR), just pulled a power move. It officially declared adding Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and BNB to its strategic reserves. Yep, GMC is now one of the first places in the world flexing crypto in its official financial game plan.
Why the switch-up? GMC is all about staying ahead. Adding digital assets is part of its strategy to diversify and build economic resilience. These cryptocurrencies are not just hype—they’re highly liquid, secure, and can be traded with minimal drama. The city is also doubling down on its love for blockchain tech and digital innovation.
Positioned on South Asia’s buzzing trade route, GMC aims to tap into a market of over 2 billion people. Its focus? Becoming a hub for blockchain tech and next-gen solutions.
Backing this bold move is GMC’s shiny new law—‘Application of Laws Act ’—which sets the stage for crypto-related businesses to thrive in a safe, regulated space.
And that’s not all. Come March this year, GMC will host a global summit, bringing together top leaders to chat about digital assets in national reserves. The city’s vision? To become a trendsetter in the crypto and blockchain space. Bhutan is leveling up, and it’s all eyes on GMC!
