🟢 Panama accepts crypto for taxes — a first step towards digital payments in LatAm
The City Council of Panama approved the use of BTC, ETH, USDC, and USDT for payment of:
— taxes 🧾
— fees 🏢
— licenses 📄
💡 This is the first government agency in the country to officially accept cryptocurrency.
At the same time, the institution still receives US dollars — the conversion is handled by the partner bank. Therefore, new laws were not needed.
📌 Why this is important:
— An example of how to integrate crypto within the existing system
— Simplifies access to payments for crypto-active residents and businesses
— Gives momentum to other regions in Latin America
🇵🇦 Panama is yet another signal that digital assets are increasingly entering government structures. And who knows, they might even reach a strategy.
