Crypto Community Donates More Than $82M to Ukraine

Total amount of crypto donations to Ukrainian charitable foundations exceeded $82 million.

Ukraine’s official wallets for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polkadot, USDT and Dogecoin have received at least $50 million.

Users donate to charity not only cryptocurrencies, but also non-fungible tokens or NFTs. On March 1, an unknown person sent an NFT from the CryptoPunks collection worth over $200,000 to the official wallet of Ukraine.

On March 6, Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine for IT Development Alexander Bornyakov announced that donations to support the country can now be made in Monero (XMR). This cryptocurrency is focused on the privacy and anonymity of payment senders.
