Citizens will now be able to pay taxes, fees, tickets and permits entirely in crypto starting with BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT@APompliano @aantonop…— Mayer Mizrachi (@Mayer) April 15, 2025

現在，公民將能夠從BTC，ETH，USDC，USDT@Apompliano@aantonop… - Mayer Mizrachi（@mayer）（2025年4月15日）開始，完全從Crypto支付稅款，費用，門票和許可證。

Panama has officially adopted Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for payments following a recent vote by the city council. As disclosed by Mayor Mizrachi, cryptocurrencies are now included among the legal means of payment recognized by the country.

在市議會最近投票後，巴拿馬已正式採用比特幣和其他加密貨幣進行付款。正如Mizrachi市長所披露的那樣，該國確認的法律付款方式中現在包括加密貨幣。

The new ruling will enable citizens to use crypto assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), and Tether (USDT) to pay for most government services including taxes and licenses. The city council has partnered with a bank that will handle the receiving of crypto payments and convert them to U.S. dollars on the spot.

新裁決將使公民能夠使用加密資產，例如比特幣（BTC），以太坊（ETH），USD Coin（USDC）和Tether（USDT）來支付包括稅收和許可在內的大多數政府服務。市議會與一家銀行合作，該銀行將處理加密付款，並將其轉換為現場美元。

In 2021, Panama followed El Salvador’s lead and took steps towards officially accepting crypto payments as Congressman Silva introduced a bill to regulate its use, and announced that the Panamanian government was seeking to make the country compatible with the blockchain, crypto assets, and the internet.

2021年，巴拿馬遵循薩爾瓦多的領導，並邁向正式接受加密付款的步驟，國會議員席爾瓦（Silva）提出了一項規範其使用的法案，並宣布巴拿馬政府正在尋求使該國與區塊鏈，加密貨幣資產和互聯網兼容。

Panama passed the law to regulate the use of crypto assets such as BTC in Central American countries in 2022, and it also provided a legal framework for DAOs and STOs. However, the initiative was vetoed by President Laurentino Cortizo, causing the same law to be sent back to Parliament to discuss the levied veto.

巴拿馬通過該法律規範了2022年中美洲國家 /地區BTC等加密資產的使用，並為Daos和Stos提供了法律框架。但是，該倡議被總統勞倫蒂諾·科蒂佐（Laurentino Cortizo）否決，導致同一法律被送回議會，討論徵收的否決權。

The legislative step brings Panama’s crypto adoption closer to countries such as the U.S., Argentina, and Chile, among others. No one is forced to pay with crypto, but the citizens can use it and there is a law that protects the operation if a conflict arises.

立法步驟使巴拿馬的加密貨幣採用更接近美國，阿根廷和智利等國家。沒有人被迫向加密貨幣付款，但公民可以使用它，如果發生衝突，有法律可以保護行動。

The country’s administrative units will be able to accept cryptocurrencies for the payment of taxes, rates, fees, tickets, permits, licenses, and all other obligations to the State. The government will be in charge of converting the crypto assets to U.S. dollars.

該國的行政部門將能夠接受加密貨幣，以支付稅率，費用，票務，許可證，許可證和所有其他對國家的義務。政府將負責將加密資產轉換為美元。

The measure was approved with five votes in favor and three against, and it now heads to the president for his signature. If approved, Panama would become the first country in Central America to accept cryptocurrencies for government services.

該措施以五票贊成和三票反對批准，現在它向總統簽署了他的簽名。如果獲得批准，巴拿馬將成為中美洲第一個接受政府服務加密貨幣的國家。

"We are making history today," said Mizrachi. "This is a small step for Panama, but a giant leap for the future of finance."

米茲拉奇說：“我們今天正在創造歷史。” “這對巴拿馬來說是一小步，但對於財務的未來來說，這是一個巨大的飛躍。”

The decision by Panama City Council to accept crypto payments comes as several other municipalities around the world are also exploring the potential of blockchain technology for public finance. For instance, in March, the city of Lugano in Switzerland began accepting Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), and Lumo (Lغو) for public services following a partnership with Luna Foundation.

巴拿馬市議會決定接受加密貨幣付款的決定是，全球其他幾個城市也正在探索區塊鏈技術對公共金融的潛力。例如，3月，瑞士的盧加諾市開始接受與Luna Foundation合作後，接受比特幣（BTC），Tether（USDT）和Lumo（Lغ＃）進行公共服務。

The move by Panama City Council could also encourage more businesses and individuals to accept crypto payments, ultimately boosting the adoption of digital assets in the country.

巴拿馬市議會的舉動還可以鼓勵更多的企業和個人接受加密貨幣付款，最終促進該國採用數字資產。
