UNICEF launches a cryptocurrency-denominated fund

UNICEF announced a fund able to receive, hold, and disburse donations in bitcoin and ether without converting them first.

The fund's first contribution came from the Ethereum Foundation and supported open-source technology projects. Bitcoin donations were handled as bitcoin, providing transparent asset-denominated accounting.
