What Cámara de Comercio Digital y Blockchain does

Cámara de Comercio Digital y Blockchain is a non-profit association (Asociación sin fines de lucro) registered in the Public Registry of the Republic of Panama under Folio No. 25037090 since May 30, 2018. The organization operates as Panama's first digital and blockchain chamber of commerce, staffed by a multisectoral team spanning lawyers, software developers, and marketing professionals. Its core mandate is to analyze regulatory, technological, and academic needs related to blockchain and cryptocurrency adoption, with a stated vision of positioning Panama as a technology reference in Central America and the Caribbean, and an explicit long-term goal of evolving into a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) governed by its affiliates.

The chamber's product surface centers on two assets: (i) a Commercial Directory (Directorio Comercial) listing 30+ Panama-based merchants that accept cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin), spanning retail, automotive, healthcare, legal, jewelry, insurance, and construction; and (ii) a tiered membership program sold via self-serve web registration, comprising Persona Natural (individuals) and Persona Jurídica (legal entities) with three corporate tiers — Pymes Digitales, Corporativo, and Disruptivo — billed monthly or annually. The chamber also curates an affiliate ecosystem that includes Paguelo Fácil (QR/crypto payments), Chainalysis (blockchain analytics), Soliduz (crypto exchange), and Direc (online securities platform). Revenue is generated primarily through recurring membership fees and directory listing fees, with publicly disclosed pricing not available.

Go-to-market is community-led: organic social (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Telegram), educational seminars, networking events, and the directory itself drive awareness and acquisition, with membership conversion occurring through the chamber's website. Leadership consists of a six-person Board of Directors (President, Secretary, Treasurer, Fiscal, two Vocales), with the President (Janice Becerra) affiliated with Panama Legal Group. The chamber maintains minor sponsorship and design relationships with TBS, 360, Consein, Daexs, Juan Kon, and Ediciones 24 Panamá.

Regional players

• Asociación Fintech México: Mexico's main fintech industry association supporting fintech companies through advocacy, networking, and education. A regional peer given overlapping mission of supporting digital financial innovation in Latin America, with a more mature scale and broader fintech remit than the Cámara.
• Colombia Fintech: A Colombian fintech industry association that supports fintech and digital financial services companies through policy advocacy, networking, and education. A natural regional peer given the geographic proximity to Panama and overlapping mission of supporting digital financial innovation in Latin America.
• Bitcoin Embassy Panama: A Panama-based Bitcoin and crypto advocacy organization promoting Bitcoin adoption and education in Panama. A direct regional peer with overlapping crypto-advocacy mission and Panama focus, although it is more Bitcoin-specific rather than multi-asset.

Emerging players

• Bitcoin Policy Institute: A research and policy institute focused on Bitcoin and its broader societal implications, engaging with policymakers and educators. Comparable as an advocacy-and-education focused organization advancing the legitimacy of digital assets, although it is research-led rather than a member-funded chamber.

Direct peers

• Blockchain Association: A US-based trade association representing the blockchain industry through policy advocacy, education, and member services. Its non-profit, member-funded structure mirrors the Cámara de Comercio Digital y Blockchain's model, and both focus on regulatory engagement on behalf of digital asset businesses.
• Chamber of Digital Commerce: The US-based Chamber of Digital Commerce is the longest-standing blockchain industry trade association, advocating for the digital asset and blockchain industry with policymakers. It is the closest analog globally in terms of mission (advocacy, education, ecosystem building) and business model (membership dues).
• Crypto Council for Innovation: An industry association advocating for the responsible growth of crypto and blockchain innovation through policy engagement with global governments. Comparable in advocacy-led, member-supported model and pan-regional ambition to expand policy influence in Latin America.
• Alastria: Spain's national blockchain association, bringing together companies and institutions to build a trusted digital ecosystem through permissioned blockchain networks. It is a structurally close peer in Spanish-speaking markets with a similar focus on regulatory dialogue, ecosystem development, and member services.
• ADAN (Association pour le Développement des Actifs Numériques): France's leading association for crypto and digital asset professionals, focused on regulatory advocacy, education, and ecosystem development. Comparable as a national industry association that combines policy engagement with member services for digital asset businesses.

Broad incumbents

• Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá: One of Colombia's largest and most established business chambers, providing member services, business registration, and policy advocacy across all industries. Comparable as a regional business chamber that is increasingly building digital commerce programming, though far broader in scope than the blockchain-focused Cámara.
