Panama City Council has made history as the first-ever public government body to accept crypto for official payments, following years of legislation back-and-forth.

 

Crypto enthusiasts in Panama City are filled with optimism following the city’s decision to accelerate crypto adoption in the economy. The city council voted in favour of this, allowing a partnership with banks to facilitate crypto transactions.

The financial hub of Latin America uses the U.S dollar as a legal tender while hosting over 70 international banks. According to Mayer Mizrachi on X (formerly Twitter):

 

Panama City council has just voted in favor of becoming the first public institution of government to accept payments in Crypto. Citizens will now be able to pay taxes, fees, tickets and permits entirely in crypto starting with BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT.

 

Adding to its favourable tax regulations, using crypto for official payments is a boost to crypto adoption globally. With big global financial institutions integrating crypto payments in the city, the market could see this ripple to other cities where they operate.

Mantra(OM) CEO to Burn 100% of Team Tokens to Restore Trust

1 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 8 Second

Mantra CEO JP Mullin has announced a plan to burn 100% of the team allocation tokens to win back the trust of the project’s vast community.

 

April 15th—Mantra CEO JP Mullin has sparked debate in the crypto space regarding the team’s innocence in the recent OM token crash. In a surprising turn of events, Mullin has declared that he is planning a burning strategy for 100% of the team’s allocation tokens. According to his X(formerly Twitter) post:

 

The teams token allocation are actually vesting only starting in 2027, which is 30 months from mainnet launch (Oct. 24). I’m planning to burn all of my team tokens and when we turn it around the community and investors can decide if I have earned it back.

 

This follows allegations of insider trading and manipulations leading to massive liquidations of traders’ positions. However, according to Mullin’s recent interview:

 

We did not sell a single OM… The team also did not get liquidated… We don’t have leveraged positions on exchanges…we don’t do that.

 

He also stated that he will create a “comprehensive burn program” for other parts of the OM supply. Some crypto enthusiasts believe burning 100% of the team allocation could lower their morale.

However, Mullin’s announcement is a step towards desirable accountability and leadership in the crypto space.

How to Leverage Real-World Assets(RWAs) in DeFi Protocols

1 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 1 Second

The tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) presents opportunities for Decentralized Finance (DeFi) users to earn yield via blockchain protocols.

 

As of 2025, real-world assets such as real estate and bonds are finding their way into the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem powered by blockchain technology. Property, treasury bills, and invoices are on the verge of tokenization for usage in DeFi protocols.

A recent report by Ripple Labs and BCG revealed that the tokenization market could hit $19 trillion by 2033.

So, where can you access and earn from RWAs

DeFi protocols like Centrifuge, MakerDao, and Goldfinch have pioneered the integration of RWAs in their Ecosystems. For instance, MakerDao allows users to earn yield via tokenized U.S. treasury bonds, enabling them to gain exposure to such investments in a decentralized manner.

Using blockchain protocols, real data on ownership and market trends in RWAs is available on-chain for users to access their assets at all times.

With the total value locked (TVL) on RWAs projected to grow exponentially over the next decade, it could be a high time for investors to consider this emerging asset class into the future.
