5M ETH to aid Ukraine as total tracked crypto donations reach $133M

$5 million worth of ETH donations to Ukraine in early April.

For many people, being connected
and immersed in the digital world
is just a part of everyday life.

Half of the $5 million in donations went directly to Aid for Ukraine, while the other half went to Unchain Fund, a cryptocurrency charity initiative created by activists in the blockchain community to provide humanitarian relief for Ukrainians.

I couldn't be more grateful for every crypto donation to our lifesaving initiative, Aid for Ukraine.

It really helps to strengthen our country and protect its democratic values.

$133 million .

Unchain Fund has raised more than $10 million alone, with most of its contributions stemming from NEAR tokens and ETH.

But overall, it appears the pace of donations has slowed down.

Some have pointed to a decline in enthusiasm for such initiatives, especially after the Ukrainian government made a U-turn on an anticipated airdrop.
