Leaked Memo Suggests U.S. May Use Blockchain for Humanitarian Aid

A leaked memo reveals the U.S. government is considering blockchain technology to fund humanitarian efforts.
Stellar, a blockchain known for its customizable deployment, near-instant bulk payments, and complete auditability, emerges as the top contender.
According to experts, Stellar’s ability to streamline disbursements while cutting costs—potentially by up to 70% compared to traditional methods—makes it an ideal solution for efficient, transparent government spending.
This move could signal a shift toward blockchain adoption in public sector finance.

Stellar Network and XLM – A Quick Overview

The Stellar Network is a decentralized, open-source blockchain designed to facilitate fast, low-cost cross-border payments and asset transfers. It connects financial institutions, businesses, and individuals, enabling them to issue, exchange, and transfer digital representations of any currency.
At the core of Stellar is XLM (Lumen), its native digital asset. XLM serves as a bridge currency, helping reduce friction in currency conversions and preventing spam transactions on the network. With its focus on transparency, speed, and affordability, Stellar is positioned as a leading blockchain for real-world financial use cases—especially in global remittances, humanitarian aid, and digital asset issuance.
