Is bitcoin legal in Panama?
Bitcoin is legal in Panama, operating on the principle that what is not prohibited is allowed. A comprehensive crypto bill passed the National Assembly in 2022, was partially vetoed by President Cortizo over anti-money-laundering concerns, and was then declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2023, leaving no dedicated framework in force. Panama's territorial tax system means foreign-sourced gains are generally untaxed, which keeps the country attractive to crypto holders despite the regulatory vacuum.
