In autumn 2016, the Central Bank of the country announced its plans for the development of a national crypto currency. These plans may be implemented in two years. The Swedes use traditional money more rarely: since 2009 the amount of coins and cash in Sweden was reduced by 40%.
Blockchain development in the country is supported by the government: in 2016, there was an experiment on transferring records on land ownership right in the digital format. The project involved the blockchain-based technology of smart contracts.
