Ships Could Pay Panama Canal Transit Fees in Bitcoin and Cut the Line, Panama City Mayor Muses

Panama City’s mayor just floated a wild idea—let ships cut the infamous canal backlog by paying transit fees in Bitcoin. Because nothing moves faster than crypto during a bull run (except maybe the exit liquidity).

The proposal would give BTC-paying vessels priority access, bypassing traditional payment delays. A potential game-changer for global shipping—or just another way to launder tanker money through decentralized ledgers?

Either way, it’s the most exciting thing to happen to maritime logistics since pirates discovered wire transfers. Just don’t ask what happens when volatility sinks the boat.
