巴拿馬城批准措施，允許居民用比特幣，以太坊，USDC和USDT納稅

這使巴拿馬城成為巴拿馬第一個接受加密貨幣付款的公共機構。

Panama City's council has approved a measure that will allow residents to pay taxes, fines, fees, and permits using cryptocurrencies.

巴拿馬城理事會已批准一項措施，該措施將允許居民使用加密貨幣支付稅，罰款，費用和許可。

This makes Panama City the first public institution in Panama to accept crypto payments.

這使巴拿馬城成為巴拿馬第一個接受加密貨幣付款的公共機構。

The city will be accepting Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), and Tether (USDT) for public sector obligations.

該市將接受比特幣（BTC），以太坊（ETH），美元硬幣（USDC）和Tether（USDT）承擔公共部門義務。

Announcing the initiative, Mayor Mayer Mizrachi said that the move will bypass the need for new legislation by partnering with a bank to instantly convert crypto payments into U.S. dollars. This ensures compliance with legal requirements for dollar-based transactions.

市長梅耶·米茲拉奇（Mayer Mizrachi）宣布該倡議表示，此舉將通過與銀行合作以立即將加密貨幣付款轉換為美元來繞開新立法的需求。這樣可以確保遵守基於美元的交易的法律要求。

The system is expected to be fully implemented later in 2025, and the banking agreement is expected to be finalized soon after the announcement.

預計該系統將在2025年晚些時候全面實施，預計將在宣布後不久將最終確定銀行協議。

This move aligns with a broader trend as several other jurisdictions, including Colorado, Lugano (Switzerland), and Vancouver, have also introduced or explored options for accepting crypto for public payments.

隨著包括科羅拉多州，盧加諾（瑞士）和溫哥華在內的其他幾個司法管轄區，此舉還與更廣泛的趨勢保持一致，也引入或探索了接受加密貨幣的選擇。

However, Panama City's approach is focused on local governance and provides residents with the option to use crypto without mandating its acceptance by businesses.

但是，巴拿馬城的方法集中在地方治理上，並為居民提供了使用加密貨幣的選擇，而無需對企業接受。

Accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, and Tether legitimizes these cryptocurrencies as viable payment methods in Panama City, potentially encouraging broader adoption among residents and businesses.

接受比特幣，以太坊，USDC，並將這些加密貨幣合法化為巴拿馬城可行的支付方法，有可能鼓勵居民和企業更廣泛地採用。

This could also normalize crypto use in everyday transactions and inspire other municipalities in Panama or Latin America to follow suit.

這也可以使加密貨幣在日常交易中使用正常化，並激發巴拿馬或拉丁美洲的其他市政當局效仿。

Moreover, offering crypto payments could provide access to government services for unbanked or underbanked individuals who hold digital assets, fostering inclusivity in a region where traditional banking access can be limited.

此外，提供加密貨幣付款可以為持有數字資產的未賬戶或賬戶的個人服務提供政府服務的訪問權，從而在傳統的銀行業訪問受到限制的地區促進包容性。

As one of the first public institutions in Panama to accept crypto, Panama City joins a growing list of global jurisdictions embracing digital currencies. This could enhance Panama's reputation in the global crypto community and attract crypto investors and tourists.

作為巴拿馬最早接受加密貨幣的公共機構之一，巴拿馬城加入了越來越多的全球司法管轄區的清單。這可以提高巴拿馬在全球加密社區的聲譽，並吸引加密投資者和遊客。

Partnering with a bank to instantly convert crypto to U.S. dollars minimizes volatility risks and simplifies accounting for the city. This could also streamline payment processing and reduce reliance on traditional financial intermediaries, potentially lowering costs.

與銀行合作，立即將加密貨幣轉換為美元，可以最大程度地減少波動風險，並簡化對城市的核算。這還可以簡化支付處理並減少對傳統金融中介機構的依賴，從而有可能降低成本。

By bypassing the need for new legislation, Panama City sets a practical model for integrating crypto into public finance within existing legal frameworks. This could influence national policy or encourage other jurisdictions to adopt similar workarounds.

通過繞過對新立法的需求，巴拿馬城設定了一個實用模型，將加密貨幣納入現有法律框架內的公共財政。這可能會影響國家政策或鼓勵其他司法管轄區採用類似的解決方法。

However, it may also prompt regulatory scrutiny to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) standards.

但是，這也可能促進監管審查，以確保符合反洗錢（AML）和知識客戶（KYC）標準。

While the instant conversion to dollars mitigates price volatility, the city must ensure robust cybersecurity and reliable banking partnerships to prevent fraud, hacks, or transaction errors, which could undermine public trust.

雖然即時轉換為美元減輕了價格的波動，但該市必須確保強大的網絡安全和可靠的銀行合作夥伴關係，以防止欺詐，黑客或交易錯誤，這可能會破壞公眾的信任。
