Marshall Islands Launches the World’s First Cryptocurrency-Based Universal Basic Income Program

Program Overview

Not a pilot. Not a whitepaper.
A real, monthly universal basic income, paid in a sovereign digital currency.
$70 a month. On-chain. Transparent.
No banks. No intermediaries. No paperwork.

In a world still debating whether crypto belongs in governance, a small Pacific nation simply implemented it.
This isn’t about hype or price charts.
It’s about code replacing bureaucracy, and money reaching people directly.

Sometimes the future doesn’t arrive from global superpowers.
It shows up quietly, on a remote island, and works.
