In his X post, Kitao shared a link to a blog post recently published by Ripple, saying that it has made a generous donation of $25 million worth of its dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD to DonorsChoose and Teach for America — two leading American nonprofit education organizations.
The article refers to this move as a “blueprint” of how stablecoins can make supporting various communities globally in a smarter, faster and more inclusive manner.
This donation has provided a way to fund more than 31,000 classrooms, supporting more than 21,000 teachers in 13,000 schools in the country. Besides, from the same $25 million, stipends will be paid out to almost 300,000 students.
Ripple stressed that this RLUSD donation will “support expanded financial literacy efforts, equipping students and teachers across the country with the knowledge and tools to succeed in a rapidly evolving job market.” Besides, it will help to reimagine American education, the blog post stated.
Ripple’s report says that, over the past few months, stablecoins have been playing a significant role in digital finance, accounting for more than 50% of all on-chain transaction volume. The potential areas of their use include humanitarian aid, philanthropy and financial inclusion.
This is largely possible thanks to stablecoins providing seamless and cheap transactions with a high level of transparency, and they run nonstop, 24/7.
