In a conflict-affected region, Mercy Corps Ventures piloted stablecoin-based humanitarian aid transfers, achieving a 62% reduction in delivery time and 10.8% cost savings. The pilot demonstrated improved transparency, security, and reach—enabling 12% more recipients to be served. While challenges remain around off-ramping and scalability, the results show strong potential for using digital currencies to modernize aid delivery in complex settings.

The Anticipatory Action Accelerator supports tech-driven solutions—like AI, satellite data, and crypto rails—that enable aid to arrive before climate shocks. A new frontier for faster, fairer humanitarian response.
