🚀 IMF and World Bank explore crypto merits with blockchain project

The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have launched a quasi-cryptocurrency named 'Learning Coin' to better understand the technology. The coin has no monetary value and will not be avilable outside the two institutions. In a statement, the IMF said that cryptocurrencies are ". . . forcing central banks, regulators and financial institutions to recognize a growing knowledge gap between the legislators, policymakers, economists and the technology. This project begins to bridge that gap and form a strong knowledge base of the technology among IMF and World Bank staff.”
