What the law actually says

Is Alibaba trading legal in Panama?

Panama neither bans crypto nor licenses it, and the two facts sit together. The Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores stated in Opinión 04-2025 of 27 August 2025 that cryptocurrencies such as ether and bitcoin are not among the products of the activities it supervises - investing for client account in securities, financial instruments and currencies - so regulating, supervising or overseeing crypto-related activity falls outside its competence, and a business built on custody and facilitation of crypto exchange needs no licence, registration or special authorisation from it.

What the contract is

The contract itself does not change by geography: a BABA perpetual settles in USDC everywhere.

Tax note — Panama

The Dirección General de Ingresos states the general territorial principle: income tax is owed by whoever receives income from activities carried out in Panamanian territory, irrespective of nationality, domicile or residence, and the annual return covers income and the expenses originated or caused in Panama that produced the taxed profit.
