How to Trade World Liberty Financial (WLFI) in Panama

From Panama, exposure to World Liberty Financial runs through a USDC-settled perpetual.

Is World Liberty Financial 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 WLFI perpetual settles in USDC everywhere.
