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

Here’s the kicker: while traditional payments crawl through banking bureaucracy, Bitcoin transactions settle in minutes. The mayor’s musing taps into crypto’s ultimate promise—cutting out middlemen (and their fees, naturally).

Of course, maritime giants might balk at volatility risks. But let’s be real—after years of supply chain chaos, they’re probably used to gambling by now.
