On January 22, stablecoin issuer Circle announced during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that it would make a donation to the United Nations to support the modernization of its internal payment systems. The goal is to make the flow of humanitarian aid funds faster, lower-cost, and more transparent. The funds will be allocated to the United Nations Digital Finance Solutions Center (DHoTS) to upgrade its global fund transfer infrastructure. Circle did not disclose the specific amount. This initiative builds on existing cooperation between the two parties. As early as 2022, Circle collaborated with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and DHoTS to distribute USDC stablecoins as aid to Ukrainians displaced by war, marking the first large-scale humanitarian use of stablecoins. Alexander De Croo, Director of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), pointed out that in the context of tight budgets, digital payments can significantly improve the efficiency of fund utilization and avoid delays and high costs associated with traditional banking systems.

Circle announces funding to the United Nations to support its digital financial infrastructure, aiming to improve the efficiency of humanitarian aid disbursements. This funding will streamline the UN's cross-border fund transfer processes, with the goal of making fund utilization more effective and providing more dignity and options for displaced persons.
