The UNICEF is now funding start ups by using cryptocurrency. There is a total of 8 companies that are being invested in, ranging over the course seven countries. these companies are aiming to help mitigate the impact of the covid-19 virus, and have previously received $100,000 from funding from the UNICEF and are now looking to increase this further with the funding being in terms of crypto, i..e 150 ETH.
The cryptocurrency amount of 125 ETH translates to roughly 28 thousand dollars. UNICEF has noted that the use of crypto has actually been quite beneficial to them as they were able to transfer all of the funds to the respective countries in around 20 minutes, with it only costing them around 20 dollars in transaction fees, with the funded countries including, Argentina, Mexico and Turkey.
This in itself shows huge potential for crypto in the future.
