Is Bitcoin becoming a passport? Panama strikes hard, BTC moves towards national-level practicality!

Just now, at the Bitcoin 2025 conference, Panama City Mayor Mayer Mizrachi dropped a bombshell:

1️⃣ Panama's second-largest bank, Caja de Ahorros, will launch BTC-based savings accounts, allowing users to safely custody Bitcoin through the bank.

2️⃣ In the future, it may allow Bitcoin to pay for canal tolls, granting priority passage rights!

3️⃣ A more radical proposal: establishing a municipal Bitcoin reserve!

Central viewpoint: This is a significant practice breaking the perception that 'Bitcoin is just a speculative asset', as BTC gradually evolves from a 'speculative item' to a 'national-level settlement asset'. Panama is attempting to integrate crypto into the core financial infrastructure, leading the world.

What impact does this have on the market?

Positive:

Government endorsement + bank collaboration enhances the legitimacy of Bitcoin as a store of value.

Actual usage scenarios (like canal payments) provide real demand for BTC, driving long-term value growth.

Potential risks:

The state's embrace of BTC brings regulatory games, which may trigger caution and suppression from 'beautiful countries' in the short term.

If the municipal reserve plan lacks a complete risk control mechanism, it may face high volatility risks.

In summary: Bitcoin is no longer just speculation; it is a global passport. And those who embrace it first may secure a ticket in the future financial landscape.

The question now is, which country will be the next to dare to go 'ALL IN'?
