Bitcoin is increasingly recognized: Panama favors it, China praises it as a strategic asset

At the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Mayor #Panama City – Mr. Mayer Mizrachi – proposed a groundbreaking initiative: ships that pay canal fees with Bitcoin will be prioritized, helping to shorten wait times that have stretched for days. This move not only promotes the acceptance of Bitcoin in global trade but also paves the way for the future establishment of the city's Bitcoin reserve fund.

Notably, Mr. Mizrachi also called on Congress to temporarily "stay out" of issuing regulations, allowing the crypto market to develop naturally before conducting assessments and appropriate adjustments.

At the same time, in China 🇨🇳, the International Finance Institute (#IMI ) – a state-owned financial consulting organization – has reposted an article by former White House advisor Matthew Ferranti on its official platform. The article asserts that Bitcoin is a strategic reserve asset that can help central banks in developing countries reduce risks from dependence on the USD.

The editorial note from the IMI also emphasizes that confidence in dollar-denominated assets is declining, and Bitcoin along with gold could become alternative options in the context of a volatile global economy.
