The President of Panama has refused to sign the crypto bill, which was recently passed by the National Assembly of Panama or the Asamblea Nacional de Panamá, with a 40-0 majority. The President cited the lack of certain points for not signing the bill and has asked the lawmakers to revise the same.

Crypto regulation delayed in Panama 

The crypto bill was passed by the national assembly in April, and there were plans to regulate cryptocurrencies in the Central American nation. The bill was proposed by Deputies Cenobia Vargas and Gabriel Silva. As per a report from Bloomberg, President Laurentino Cortizo of Panama has decided not to sign the bill. 

After approval from the National Assembly, the bill was sent to the executive, where Cortizo has to authority to sign the bill or veto it in part or whole. The President of Panama decided not to go ahead with said regulations because of the lack of strict anti-money laundering provisions.

"I will not sign that law if I am going to answer you right now with the facts that I have, which is insufficient," Cortizo said at the Bloomberg New Economy Gateway Latin America conference in Panama City. "If the law contains money laundering provisions, I must exercise extreme caution." We place a high value on anti-money laundering efforts."

An innovative law?

The President's lawyers are currently going over other provisions of the bill, and Cortizo revealed that he would approve some sections of the bill while vetoing others. Cortizo believes that the bill in its current state is innovative but lacks strict AML laws.
"From what I've heard, it's an innovative law, and it's a good law," he remarked. "However, we have a sound financial system here in Panama, and one of the things I'm looking forward to is when crypto-assets are regulated globally."

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
