The Circle Foundation has launched two funding programs with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Food Programme (WFP) to explore the use of regulated stablecoins and digital financial infrastructure for humanitarian aid payments. Circle Foundation funds UNDP to establish a Digital Asset Innovation Pool, supporting its expansion of stablecoin payments to project delivery. Another grant granted to World Food Program USA supports WFP in establishing a governance, risk, compliance, and fund reconciliation framework for digital asset distribution. WFP plans to test stablecoin payment channels in 2 to 3 countries over the next three years. (Source: Bitcoin.com News)
