🇺🇸 New York is testing basic income — in crypto. (Future First)
A new pilot launched by GiveDirectly, funded by Coinbase, is delivering unconditional payments to low-income residents directly in USDC — no banks involved.
$2.6M from Coinbase’s former GiveCrypto fund is powering the experiment.
160 participants from South Bronx and East Harlem
$8,000 upfront, then $800/month
Total: $12,000 over five months
Recipients can:
– hold USDC as savings
– spend via Coinbase Card
– convert to USD
– withdraw cash
– or keep it entirely in crypto for future investments.
