This is not the first time that the United Nations collaborates on projects related to cryptocurrencies: to finance solar energy<\/a>\u00a0or to promote fair trade through the tokenization of chocolate bars, among others. Thus, it can be said that\u00a0cryptocurrencies arrive at the UN<\/b>\u00a0and have no intention of leaving. The last case is UNICEF.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"ONU<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Inside the UN there is an innovation program, known as\u00a0the United Nations Innovation Network<\/b>, led by UNICEF and the World Food Program (WFP). The network is responsible for researching the potential of blockchain technology in the current era. Therefore, it is not surprising that they have finally launched their own cryptocurrency fund.<\/p>\n

Thus, UNICEF becomes the first United Nations organization to make transactions with cryptocurrencies<\/p>\n

For UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta H. Fore, digital currencies offer great potential and enormous opportunities for the lives of new generations. A whole declaration of intentions, cryptocurrencies arrive at the UN to stay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
