Panama Positions Itself as LATAM’s Blockchain Gateway
From a bridge between oceans to a bridge between blockchain industries, Panama is embracing a new identity—one built on fintech leadership and technological innovation.
With Panama Blockchain Week 2025, the nation is declaring its ambition to become a central hub for global blockchain development.
The increase in blockchain technology adoption and its implementation across new industries is a clear indicator of how relevant and reliable this technology has become in the evolution of operations, increasingly adapting to the needs of the modern world,
— said Marta Ambor, event co-founder.
Focused on blockchain’s disruptive force in finance, logistics, and energy, the forum aims to unite startups and institutional giants ready to plug into Latin America’s dynamic innovation ecosystem.
Backing Blockchain with Institutional Muscle
With support from influential institutional partners, Panama Blockchain Week stands as a milestone in the region’s push for technological advancement.
The presence of President José Raúl Mulino at the official opening highlights Panama’s proactive role in shaping the regional agenda for blockchain innovation and digital finance.
Key crypto movers confirmed for the stage:
- Edmon Pallerola, VP at CanalBank;
- Belisario Castillo, VP at Banco Aliado;
- Aldo Stagnaro, CEO of Gruppo Stagnaro;
- Evan Luthra, Entrepreneur and Angel Investor;
- Mariano Giralt, Financial & Digital Advisor.
These leading voices of the crypto world will discuss Panama’s efforts to foster financial decentralization, craft modern regulatory frameworks, and broaden digital access across Latin America.
This convergence of perspectives reflects the rising belief that blockchain is no longer a fringe innovation, but a vital thread uniting legacy finance and emerging tech.
With the increase in blockchain adoption, it is very important that more governments develop their National Blockchain Framework to legally adopt the technology on a mass scale, create the conditions for sustainable operations, build partnerships with existing industries, and provide support to attract new companies and even generate new industries around the use of this technology,
observed Alex Mandujano, global strategist at the Government Blockchain Association (GBA), who joined the forum at the request of Mexico.
