The place is more than known by crypto-traders and already now there is a speciality from official point of view. In Zug, the municipality officially accepts the cryptocurrency bitcoin. Those who have to pay fees at the registration office in Zug can pay them in Bitcoin. The invoices may not exceed CHF 200 in total. Whether this offer will be used intensively in practice is still questionable at present.

The Ethereum currency in particular is often under discussion in Zug. This is probably also due to the fact that Vitalik Buterin, the founder of the currency, lived and worked here in the meantime. Like the currency Bitcoin, Ethereum is based on the Blockchain technology, which is used to play through transactions in encrypted form.
