About

A Panama-based bitcoin-to-USD exchange.

Balboa Exchange works from Panama, where two oceans meet. With partners and liquidity providers, we have converted bitcoin and stablecoins to US dollars abroad, and run an OTC desk, since 2020. We were here through the 2021 highs, the 2022 collapses, and the 2023–2025 rebuild.

  1. The market

    Bitcoin, stablecoins, and banking.

    Panama is where value has always crossed between oceans, continents and currencies, and its own currency, the balboa, has been at par with the US dollar for over a century. Bitcoin has matured into a treasury asset, and stablecoins have become everyday settlement rails. Serious capital needs a dependable way to turn them into dollars at a bank. We provide it with partners and liquidity providers.

  2. How we work

    Two ways in.

    Concierge for those who need it. Self-serve for those who prefer it. A short qualification questionnaire decides where you land. Either path can lead to the other.

  3. Compliance

    KYC and AML on every client.

    Every client is reviewed under KYC and AML rules before trading. Banking redundancy by design.

Most relationships begin with the questionnaire.
