巴拿马市议会投票支持比特币和加密货币

在周四的公告中，巴拿马市议会正式揭幕已批准接受比特币（BTC）和其他数字资产

The Panama City Council has approved the acceptance of Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital assets for municipal services including tax, fees and permits.

巴拿马市议会已批准接受比特币（BTC）和其他数字资产用于市政服务，包括税收，费用和许可证。

Mayor Mayer Mizrachi announced the decision on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the council’s Bitcoin vote as pivotal.

市长梅耶·米兹拉奇（Mayer Mizrachi）在X（以前为Twitter）上宣布了这一决定，强调了理事会的比特币投票为关键。

“Panama City council has just voted in favor of becoming the 1st public institution of government to accept payments in crypto. Citizens will now be able to pay taxes, fees, tickets, and permits entirely in crypto, starting with BTC, ETH, USDC, and USDT,” Mizrachi disclosed.

“巴拿马市议会刚刚投票赞成成为第一个公共政府接受加密货币付款的政府机构。现在，公民将能够完全在Crypto中支付税款，费用，门票和许可，从BTC，ETH，USDC和USDT开始，” Mizrachi透露。”

This move marks a significant shift in how residents can engage with their local government, enabling seamless transactions using Bitcoin and digital currencies for everyday expenses like taxes, tickets, permits, and fees.

此举标志着居民如何与地方政府互动的方式发生了重大转变，可以使用比特币和数字货币进行无缝交易，以征税，票，许可证和费用等日常费用。

Announcing this development, the mayor also highlighted that this achievement was realized without the need for new Bitcoin and crypto legislation, a challenge that had previously hindered similar initiatives in the country.

市长宣布这一发展，还强调说，这项成就是实现的，而无需新的比特币和加密立法，这一挑战以前妨碍了该国类似的举措。

“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.”

“先前的政府试图在参议院提出一项法案，以使这一行为成为可能，但我们找到了一种简单的方法来无需新的立法。”

To realize this initiative, the city council will be partnering with a bank to process the transactions, receiving payments in cryptocurrencies and converting them to US dollars on the spot.

为了意识到这一倡议，市议会将与银行合作处理交易，收取加密货币的付款并当场将其转换为美元。

This partnership not only facilitates the acceptance of digital currencies but also ensures compliance with existing legal frameworks that mandate public institutions to receive funds in dollars. “This allows for the free flow of crypto in the entire economy and entire government,” Mizrachi stated.

这种合作伙伴关系不仅有助于接受数字货币的接受，还可以确保遵守现有的法律框架，该法律框架要求公共机构以美元收取资金。 “这允许在整个经济和整个政府中自由流动加密。”

The Panama City Mayor’s Office also confirmed the news via its official social media channels, adding, “We will soon become the first public institution in the country to allow payment for municipal services in cryptocurrency, through an authorized bank that will be responsible for converting the proceeds into dollars for the Mayor’s Office.”

巴拿马城市长办公室还通过其官方社交媒体渠道证实了这一消息，并补充说：“我们将很快成为该国的第一个公共机构，允许通过一家授权的银行将收益转换为市长办公室的收益。”

Looking ahead, Mayor Mizrachi revealed that the agreement with the banking partner is to be finalized next week. “The deal’s being signed next week at the Blockchain conference in Panama. Look out for the signing of the deal next week.”

展望未来，Mizrachi市长透露，与银行合作伙伴的协议将在下周完成。 “这笔交易将于下周在巴拿马举行的区块链会议上签署。寻求下周交易的签署。”

At the time of writing, BTC trades at $84,825, up nearly 5% in the weekly time frame after a sharp decline toward 75,700 last week. As of now, the market’s leading cryptocurrency is 22% below its all-time high reached back in January of this year.
