The Marshall Islands has a non-digital national ID card and is early in building a digital ID with World Bank support, targeted for 2028. In November 2025 the government launched a digital wallet and a USDM1 stablecoin tied to a universal basic income programme, which the IMF criticised.

USDM1 / Lomalo wallet

The tracker reports the government launched the Lomalo wallet and USDM1 stablecoin in November 2025 for a universal basic income programme. The IMF called it a premature implementation of untested policy. The earlier 2018 SOV currency was never issued; the country has no central bank.
