\n

Payments firm Ripple has pledged $25 million<\/a> to support educational initiatives in the U.S., with most of the disbursement in its RLUSD stablecoin.<\/p>\n

The funds will be distributed throughout 2025. Some $15 million is dedicated to teachers through DonorsChoose, and $10 million will go to Teach For America.<\/p>\n

The donation is in partnership with The Giving Block, coming at a critical time for education in the U.S. as ongoing federal funding cuts are causing significant uncertainty among educational institutions and educators alike.<\/p>\n

The Giving Block also added support for donations using RLUSD, Ripple\u2019s U.S. dollar pegged stablecoin, as the token gains traction in a crowded market. Such transfers boost the token\u2019s visibility and usecase, however, some developers say.<\/p>\n

“Stablecoins like RLUSD are proving their value in real-world applications like donations and large-scale transactions,\u201d Panos Mekras, CEO of Anodos Labs, a DeFi project on XRPL, said in a Telegram message. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey offer fast, low-cost transfers, free from middlemen and banking restrictions, making them ideal for moving significant amounts efficiently and transparently, as Ripple\u2019s donation demonstrates.”<\/p>\n

RLUSD has a circulating supply of $316 million as of Tuesday, data shows<\/a>. Security features make RLUSD appealing to institutional users. <\/p>\n

An XRP Ledger amendment in January<\/a> saw a \u201cclawback\u201d feature go live on the network, allowing the issuer to reclaim or “claw back” certain tokens, such as RLUSD, from users’ wallets under specific conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
