Some New Yorkers are getting $12,000 in crypto in a Coinbase, $COIN, funded basic income-style pilot program, per BI.
A limited group of 160 low-income young adults in New York City are receiving $12,000 in a cryptocurrency as part of the "Future First" guaranteed income pilot program. The program, administered by the nonprofit GiveDirectly and funded by Coinbase, is being tested in areas like the South Bronx and East Harlem.
Who is receiving the cryptocurrency?
The program specifically targets young adults aged 18 to 30 who were selected through a lottery. Unlike a city-wide program, this is a small-scale pilot to study the effects of providing cash in the form of a stablecoin.
How does the program work?
Funding: The funding for the initiative, approximately $2.6 million, came from Coinbase's now-defunct GiveCrypto program.
Cryptocurrency Used: Participants receive the $12,000 in USDC (USD Coin), a stablecoin that is pegged to the value of the U.S. dollar to minimize market volatility.
Payment Schedule: The total amount is distributed over five months and includes:
An initial lump-sum payment of $8,000.
Five subsequent monthly payments of $800.
Payment Options: The funds are distributed through Coinbase wallets, but recipients have multiple options for using the money:
Keep the funds as crypto in their Coinbase account.
Cash out and transfer the funds to a traditional bank account.
Spend the funds using a Coinbase debit card.
Withdraw the funds as cash from an ATM.
What is the goal of the pilot program?
The Future First program aims to explore the potential of using cryptocurrency for direct financial aid and study its impact on low-income communities. By distributing a large lump sum in addition to smaller, recurring payments, the program is designed to see if it encourages recipients to make more significant investments, such as paying for education or a security deposit for housing

🚨 BREAKING: We are now less than 48 hours until Iryna's Law takes effect in North Carolina and officials are BRACING for a surge in violent criminals behind bars.
They're not sure they can handle it. Unbelievable it's THAT BAD.
"If you are charged with a violent crime or you are convicted of at least three crimes in the past 10 years, you will no longer be able to get an unsecured bond."
"I'm almost speechless about the impacts to across the board here."
"I see a backlog happening as a result of these arrests not being able to move people out of the system."
"First appearances will likely get longer. Judicial officials also will have to consider a suspect's criminal history when granting pretrial release and will have to enter a written finding of fact if they do so."
"Sheriff Gary expects more people will be held in jail and for a longer period of time. He's worried about staffing."
