巴拿馬城接受比特幣，以太坊，美元硬幣以及稅款和其他服務

付款將包括比特幣[BTC]，以太坊[ETH]，USD Coin [USDC]和Tether [USDT]。

Panama’s capital city will begin accepting crypto payments for tax and other city-related services. The payments will include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), and Tether (USDT).

巴拿馬的首都將開始接受加密稅款和其他與城市有關的服務。付款將包括比特幣（BTC），以太坊（ETH），美元硬幣（USDC）和Tether（USDT）。

Announcing this on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Panama City’s mayor, Mizrachi Matalon, stated that the citizens will now be able to pay taxes, fees, tickets, and permits entirely in crypto.

巴拿馬城市長Mizrachi Matalon在周五在X（以前為Twitter）上宣布這一點，他說，公民現在將能夠完全在加密貨幣中繳納稅款，費用，門票和許可。

However, the crypto payments will be converted directly to U.S. dollars via partner banks without the need for any extra crypto legislation.

但是，加密付款將通過合作夥伴銀行直接轉換為美元，而無需任何額外的加密立法。

Highlighting this, Matalon added that they've been trying to get the city to accept crypto for a while now. But previous administrations failed to adopt crypto payments.

強調了這一點，Matalon補充說，他們一直在試圖讓這座城市接受加密貨幣一段時間。但是以前的政府未能採用加密付款。

"We are the 1st capital in Central America to accept cryptocurrencies. A new generation demands new forms of payment. We had been wanting to do this for a long time, but we couldn't do it because of legal issues or the willingness of previous administrations to adapt to new technologies. Now, we are making it happen."

“我們是中美洲接受加密貨幣的第一筆首都。新一代需要新的付款方式。我們一直想這樣做很長時間了，但是由於法律問題或先前政府的意願，我們無法做到這一點。現在，我們正在實現這一目標。”

"We are starting with BTC, ETH, USDC, and USDT. We are working with partner banks to facilitate the process of converting the cryptocurrencies to U.S. dollars directly."

“我們從BTC，ETH，USDC和USDT開始。我們正在與合作夥伴銀行合作，以促進將加密貨幣直接轉換為美元的過程。”

The mayor further noted that they are also working on expanding the cryptocurrencies supported for payments.

市長進一步指出，他們還在努力擴大支持付款支持的加密貨幣。

"We are committed to staying ahead of the curve and providing our citizens with the best possible service."

“我們致力於保持領先地位，並為我們的公民提供最佳的服務。”

Overall, cryptocurrency payments and adoption have been growing across several global territories and cities.

總體而言，在幾個全球領土和城市中，加密貨幣支付和採用一直在增長。

For instance, Lugano City in Switzerland began accepting BTC and USDT payments for tax and other city-related fees in December 2023.

例如，2023年12月，瑞士的盧加諾市開始接受BTC和USDT付款和其他與城市有關的費用。

Following Lugano's move, Canada's Vancouver announced the integration of BTC into its financial system, to support even tax payments, in December 2024.

盧加諾（Lugano）的舉動之後，加拿大溫哥華（Vancouver）於2024年12月宣布將BTC整合到其金融體系中，以支持稅款。

In fact, even the U.S. states of Colorado and North Carolina explored similar crypto payments.

實際上，甚至美國科羅拉多州和北卡羅來納州也探索了類似的加密貨幣。

Besides, countries like Vanuatu accept Bitcoin for citizenship applications and integrate it with their immigration payments.

此外，瓦努阿圖（Vanuatu）等國家接受比特幣進行公民身份應用，並將其與移民付款融合。

However, some jurisdictions have dialed back their crypto payment adoption. For instance, El Salvador scrapped tax payments through BTC with the amended Bitcoin law in early 2025.

但是，一些司法管轄區已將其加密貨幣付款撥回。例如，薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）於2025年初通過修訂的比特幣法律通過BTC取消了稅款。

That said, most experts have projected massive stablecoin adoption, including payments, if the U.S. passes pending bills in the summer.

也就是說，如果美國在夏季通過待定的賬單，大多數專家都預計採用了大規模的穩定幣，包括付款。
