Gate News message, April 21 — Unicoin Inc., a crypto investment company, announced the establishment of an independently operated Unicoin Foundation, positioning itself as an education-first mission-driven organization. The foundation will advance responsible adoption of blockchain technology and expand access to the digital economy through financial literacy education, entrepreneurship training, and ecosystem support, with a focus on women and underserved communities.
The foundation is chaired by Robert Newman and governed by 27 directors, all of whom are Unicoin investors elected through shareholder voting. Over 4,000 shareholders participated in the vote, with approximately 99% approving the transition to an independent foundation structure. Unicoin stated that the restructuring aligns with the "token taxonomy" framework proposed by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Paul Atkins.
