They are planning to launch a stablecoin that’s called Pink Care Token (PCAT).
This is aimed to end the lack of hygiene products and facilities and also to improve the overall feminine health and wellbeing.
According to the United Nations,
“Menstrual hygiene is still considered a taboo topic in many places throughout the world, leaving many women without safe, accessible, and hygienic spaces for washing and sanitation.”
According to the statistics, all over the globe, “about 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation, and many of them are women.”
Binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao stated the following:
“Pink Care Token is the first social-impact stablecoin issued on Binance Chain. A part of our mission is to promote cryptocurrency adoption, and I think charity is one of the most efficient ways to bring cryptocurrency value to more people.”
The redemption-token will be issued on Binance Chain and it will not be pegged to fiat currency, but to a year’s supply of sanitary pads.
