The crypto community responded to the call of public organizations to provide assistance to those affected by a powerful earthquake in Turkey. Through the exchanges, the transfer of funds to wallets created by charitable structures began.
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin funneled $227,000 into ETH, according to blockchain company PeckShield.
Buterin donated funds in two large transactions – 50 ETH and 99 ETH.
In total, non-profit organizations received about $4.3 million in cryptocurrencies. The lion’s share of the funds was sent in stablecoins.
One of the wallets created by the NGO Ahbap received 409 ETH worth up to $622,000.
Many exchanges themselves provide funds to support victims and their families. For example, Binance donated $5 million.
