Ripple’s RLUSD-Powered Kenya Drought Insurance Pilot Wraps Up—Could This Be Crypto’s First Real-World Win?
Ripple just flipped the script on humanitarian aid—with blockchain as the unlikely hero.
The skinny: The RLUSD stablecoin pilot in Kenya didn't just move digital tokens—it delivered actual drought protection to farmers. No middlemen, no frozen accounts, just smart contracts executing when parched soil needed rain most.
Why it matters: While Wall Street plays with Bitcoin ETFs, this is decentralized finance actually doing what banks won't—serving the unbanked with infrastructure that works when traditional systems fail. (Take notes, Jamie Dimon.)
The kicker: If insurers can tokenize payouts faster than banks can process paperwork, we might finally see crypto's 'real-world utility' move beyond trader memes and into... you know... reality.
