Theoretical Efficiency Opportunity

In 2025, Pakistan received $192.2M in humanitarian funding. At today's purchasing power gap of $22,619 per $1M converted, if all funding were converted via USDC stablecoin rails instead of at UNORE, the theoretical gain would be up to $4.3M in additional purchasing power.

Funding data: OCHA FTS (2025). Theoretical maximum assumes all funding converts at UNORE. Actual gains depend on the proportion of funding converted at UN rates and institutional transaction costs.
