巴拿马城接受比特币，以太坊，美元硬币以及税收和其他服务

付款将包括比特币[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).

巴拿马的首都将开始接受加密税款和其他与城市有关的服务。付款将包括比特币（BTC），以太坊（ETH），美元硬币（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.

巴拿马城市长Mizrachi Matalon在周五在X（以前为Twitter）上宣布这一点，他说，公民现在将能够完全在加密货币中缴纳税款，费用，门票和许可。

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，加密付款将通过合作伙伴银行直接转换为美元，而无需任何额外的加密立法。

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.

强调了这一点，Matalon补充说，他们一直在试图让这座城市接受加密货币一段时间。但是以前的政府未能采用加密付款。

"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."

“我们是中美洲接受加密货币的第一笔首都。新一代需要新的付款方式。我们一直想这样做很长时间了，但是由于法律问题或先前政府的意愿，我们无法做到这一点。现在，我们正在实现这一目标。”

"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."

“我们从BTC，ETH，USDC和USDT开始。我们正在与合作伙伴银行合作，以促进将加密货币直接转换为美元的过程。”

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

市长进一步指出，他们还在努力扩大支持付款支持的加密货币。

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

“我们致力于保持领先地位，并为我们的公民提供最佳的服务。”

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

总体而言，在几个全球领土和城市中，加密货币支付和采用一直在增长。

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，瑞士的卢加诺市开始接受BTC和USDT付款和其他与城市有关的费用。

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

卢加诺（Lugano）的举动之后，加拿大温哥华（Vancouver）于2024年12月宣布将BTC整合到其金融体系中，以支持税款。

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

实际上，甚至美国科罗拉多州和北卡罗来纳州也探索了类似的加密货币。

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

此外，瓦努阿图（Vanuatu）等国家接受比特币进行公民身份应用，并将其与移民付款融合。

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，一些司法管辖区已将其加密货币付款拨回。例如，萨尔瓦多（El Salvador）于2025年初通过修订的比特币法律通过BTC取消了税款。

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

也就是说，如果美国在夏季通过待定的账单，大多数专家都预计采用了大规模的稳定币，包括付款。
