Tusk Ventures is promoting the Republic of the Marshall Islands' plan to introduce the world’s first legal tender cryptocurrency.
RMI has partnered with Neema Ltd, an Israeli startup that facilitates global money transfers via app and has used blockchain technology to create a digital currency called the Sovereign (SOV).
The Pacific Ocean nation has passed a law making the SOV its official legal tender and is working with Neema to ensure a smooth roll-out.
According to Tusk’s statement of work, the firm is shaping the narrative to build support from the media, regulators, investors, pundits and crypto advocates/skeptics.
