The donation provides a way to fund more than 31,000 classrooms and supports more than 21,000 teachers in 13,000 schools across the country. Plus, starting from the same $25 million, salaries will be paid to approximately 300,000 students.
Ripple emphasized that the RLUSD contribution will “equip students and teachers across the country with the knowledge and tools to support the expanded financial literacy efforts and thrive in the rapidly evolving job market.” Plus, it helps to rethink American education, the blog post says.
Ripple reports that over the past few months, Stablecoins have played a key role in digital finance, accounting for more than 50% of the transaction volume on the chain. Potential areas of their use include humanitarian assistance, philanthropy and financial inclusion.
This is mostly possible thanks to Stablecoins, which offers seamless and inexpensive transactions with a high level of transparency.

You ruined your reputation, pushed CBDC and lost all credibility against Bitcoin.
No one is taking you seriously anymore.
