巴拿馬城成為第一個接受加密貨幣支付的政府機構

巴拿馬市議會已投票決定成為第一個接受加密貨幣支付稅款，費用，門票和許可證的公共機構。

The Panama City council has voted to become the first public institution of government to accept cryptocurrency payments for taxes, fees, tickets, and permits.

巴拿馬市議會已投票決定成為第一個接受加密貨幣支付稅款，費用，門票和許可證的公共機構。

Starting immediately, residents can settle these obligations using Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as well as leading stablecoins USD Coin (USDC) and Tether (USDT).

立即開始，居民可以使用比特幣（BTC）和以太坊（ETH）以及領先的Stablecoins USD Coin（USDC）和Tether（USDT）解決這些義務。

The announcement was officially shared on X by Mayor Mayer Mizrachi and it bypasses a stalled senate bill that previously aimed to legalize crypto payments. Instead, the city has partnered with a local bank to create an innovative workaround for handling transactions.

該公告由Mayer Mizrachi市長正式在X上分享，並繞過了一項停滯的參議院法案，該法案以前旨在使加密貨幣合法化。取而代之的是，該市與當地銀行合作，為處理交易創造了創新的解決方法。

“Prior administrations tried to push a bill in the senate to make this possible, but we found a simple way to do it without new legislation,” said Mayor Mizrachi.

市長Mizrachi說：“先前的政府試圖在參議院提出一項法案，以使這一行為成為可能，但我們找到了一種簡單的方法來無需新的立法。”

“Legally public institutions must receive funds in $, so we partner with a bank who will take care of the transaction receiving in crypto and convert on spot to $. This allows for the free flow of crypto throughout the city's economy without needing new legislation.”

“法律上公共機構必須獲得$ $的資金，因此我們與一家銀行合作，該銀行將照顧加密貨幣的交易，並將現場轉換為$。這允許在整個城市的經濟中自由流通，而無需新的立法。”

This move marks a significant step toward integrating digital currencies into the fabric of local governance.

此舉標誌著將數字貨幣集成到地方治理結構中的重要一步。

Under the arrangement, payments made in cryptocurrency are instantly converted to U.S. dollars while ensuring compliance with legal requirements that public institutions receive funds in USD.

根據該安排，加密貨幣的付款立即轉換為美元，同時確保遵守公共機構收到美元資金的法律要求。

The initiative contrasts sharply with El Salvador’s 2021 decision to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, a move that has faced challenges due to the cryptocurrency’s volatility.

該計劃與薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）的2021年決定採用比特幣作為法定貨幣的決定形成鮮明對比，這一舉動由於加密貨幣的波動而面臨挑戰。

However, Panama City’s keeps crypto payments optional and confines public sector engagement to conversions. This enhancement mitigates similar risks while encouraging crypto adoption across the city.

但是，巴拿馬城可以保持加密貨幣的可選，並將公共部門的參與限制在轉化。這種增強能夠減輕類似的風險，同時鼓勵整個城市採用加密貨幣。
