Slovenia’s Fourth-Largest City is Home to a Bitcoin Roundabout

Kranj, the fourth-largest city in Slovenia, will soon make history by unveiling the world’s first public Bitcoin monument.
“Roundabout Kranj,” as the monument has been officially dubbed, sees a Bitcoin logo placed in the center of the roundabout connecting Oldhamska and Gregorčičeva street, a “connecting point” for the city’s “urban ecosystem.

The monument was designed by Selman Čorović & KRARH Society and its construction was financed by cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp and tech startup 3fs, both of which are based in Kranj.

The Bitcoin monument will officially be unveiled on March 13 in a ceremony opened by Kranj Mayor Boštjan Trilar, Slovenia State Secretary Tadej Slapnik, and Bitcoin Association Slovenia president Jure Pirc.
