The Marshall Islands has introduced the world’s first blockchain-based universal basic income program, built on the Stellar ($XLM ) blockchain. The initiative uses USDM1, a digital asset backed by U.S. Treasuries, creating a new approach to public finance through transparent and efficient on-chain distribution. This move highlights how blockchain technology can support UBI models and expand financial access in underserved regions.
