Crypto community rallies with Ukraine as local NFT artists' works sell out
It appears that crypto enthusiasts worldwide are rallying in support of Ukraine to resist an ongoing full-scale Russian invasion.
According to reports, Bitcoin (BTC) donations to Come Back Alive, a non-governmental organization helping Ukraine's military efforts, received $3 million in BTC in a single donation on Friday. Users also took to social media to ask the country's Ministry of Defense to accept crypto donations, such as USDT. At the same time, the founder of Ukraine's Kuna exchange created a crypto fund to assist charities in the country.
Everyone! Thank you for all the support and donations! The current plan is separated into 3 parts to involve as many as possible1) direct donations (aimed at individuals)2) NFT Auction (via telegram & Opensea) 3) Project % pledge (aiming at collections and projects)(1/4) https://t.co/eo4Vgyz95a
On Friday, the outpouring of support gained further traction. Nonfungible token (NFT) artist "pan_danil" began organizing a campaign to direct donations, launch NFT auctions and pledge a percentage of project sales to NFT artists in Ukraine. At the time of publication, a group of volunteers had formed curating a community list of Ukrainian NFT artists and links to their artwork on NFT platforms such as Rarible, Foundation, and OpenSea.
