Jean-Charles Galli, the head of international relations at ESCE International Business School, expressed his appreciation for organizations such as Bitcoin4Olympics that are increasing the visibility of merchants accepting cryptocurrency payments at the Paris Olympics.

The 2024 Olympics will take place in Paris, France, with opening ceremonies beginning on July 26, according to the 2024 Olympics website. The Paris Olympics will occur over several days and include numerous competitions in various venues throughout Paris.
According to a news release by bitcoin.fr, the goal of Bitcoin4Olympics is “to inform the French-speaking and English-speaking public about merchants that accept Bitcoin in the run-up to the Olympic and Paralympic games.” This initiative highlights “innovation, accessibility, security as well as the distinction of the merchants.”
The initiative by Bitcoin4Olympics has been supported by Le Cercle du Coin and offers the Swiss Bitcoin Pay solution, according to bitcoin.fr. More than one-in-ten French people own Bitcoin, strengthening its legitimization and acceptance as a payment option.
