巴拿马市议会已投票决定成为第一个接受加密货币支付税款，费用，门票和许可证的公共机构。

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

立即开始，居民可以使用比特币（BTC）和以太坊（ETH）以及领先的Stablecoins USD Coin（USDC）和Tether（USDT）解决这些义务。

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.

该公告由Mayer Mizrachi市长正式在X上分享，并绕过了一项停滞的参议院法案，该法案以前旨在使加密货币合法化。取而代之的是，该市与当地银行合作，为处理交易创造了创新的解决方法。

“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.

市长Mizrachi说：“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。”

“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.”

“法律上公共机构必须获得$ $的资金，因此我们与一家银行合作，该银行将照顾加密货币的交易，并将现场转换为$。这允许在整个城市的经济中自由流通，而无需新的立法。”

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

此举标志着将数字货币集成到地方治理结构中的重要一步。

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.

根据该安排，加密货币的付款立即转换为美元，同时确保遵守公共机构收到美元资金的法律要求。

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.

该计划与萨尔瓦多（El Salvador）的2021年决定采用比特币作为法定货币的决定形成鲜明对比，这一举动由于加密货币的波动而面临挑战。

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，巴拿马城可以保持加密货币的可选，并将公共部门的参与限制在转化。这种增强能够减轻类似的风险，同时鼓励整个城市采用加密货币。
