Notably, Wood’s donation, which is one of the greatest individual crypto contributions to date, accounts for more than 10% of all cryptocurrency donations.
Heavy donations
FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has donated $25 to each Ukrainian on his trading platform, while Chain.com CEO Deepak Thapliyal donated 100 Ether (ETH), or more than $280,000 to the Ukrainian government.
According to Polkadot blockchain data, the Polkadot ecosystem has already contributed over $210,000 to the official DOT wallet for Ukraine since this morning.
Coingate, a Lithuanian fintech, provides a workaround for crypto that is not accepted in the country. It allows holders of other cryptocurrencies to donate funds to Ukraine.
To date, the cryptocurrency world has rushed to nation’s aid with donations and words of encouragement. According to Twitter observers, Ukraine’s unique crypto activity was an attempt to make history.
