Crypto's regulatory support is growing. Detroit is set to become the largest U.S. city to accept cryptocurrency payments for taxes and other payments, following an [announcement](https://detroitmi.gov/news/detroit-become-largest-city-us-accept-cryptocurrency-payments-taxes-other-fees) from the city's mayor. 

## **What's the Scoop?**
- **Crypto Payments**: On Thursday, city officials revealed that Detroit residents will be able to pay taxes and other city fees with cryptocurrency through a platform managed by PayPal.
- **Implementation Timeline**: This new payment option is expected to be available by mid-2025.

## **Bankless Take:**
Detroit is now the third city in the U.S., joining Williston, North Dakota, and Miami Lakes, Florida, to accept crypto-based payments. Other major cities, like Miami and New York City, are exploring similar initiatives. Beyond crypto payments, Detroit is also welcoming entrepreneurs to propose blockchain-based civic applications. This move marks yet another promising step toward establishing the U.S. as a powerhouse in the crypto space.
