    Inside UNICEF's Crypto Playbook: Stablecoin DeFi Yield for Giga, Cash Transfers by SMS

    Five years ago, Launchnodes and UNICEF's Office of Innovation started a conversation that most people in crypto and most people in philanthropy would have written off. What if you could fund a UN initiative without ever giving up your principal? What if the money stayed in your wallet, and only the yield went to work? In episode 2 of Philanthropy 3.0, Jaydeep Korde (Launchnodes) and James Newell (GSR Foundation) sit down with Gerben Kijne, Product Manager at the UNICEF Office of Innovation, to trace exactly how that idea became working infrastructure.  Gerben runs through the Venture Fund's crypto arm, a humanitarian cash transfer pilot in Kenya that dispersed USDC to beneficiaries using phones and bare SIM cards, and the slow, unglamorous work of getting an organization the size of UNICEF to hold stablecoins on its balance sheet for the first time. The conversation gets into the parts most crypto-for-good content skips.  Where does the yield actually come from, and how do you explain that to a government? Which regions are leading on adoption, and which are still a wall? What does "good" look like twelve months from now for Lido Impact Staking, Stablecoin for Impact, and Giga's mission to connect every school on earth to the internet?Whether you're building in DeFi, allocating capital from a DAO treasury, running a foundation, or just trying to understand what crypto philanthropy looks like when it actually works, this is a must watch.
