The Ukrainian government – and an NGO providing support to the military – have raised $63.8 million, through more than 120,000 cryptoasset donations since the start of the Russian invasion, according to Elliptic.
The majority of donations received to date have been in Bitcoin and Ether, although US dollar stablecoins contribute a significant proportion. But it’s not only cryptoassets that are being donated; people are also sending NFTs to the Ukrainian government’s Ethereum account.
Cryptoasset fundraising campaigns to support the Ukrainian military are also being organized outside of Ukraine. UkraineDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization, which aims to raise Ether to be donated to Come Back Alive.
Scammers also appear to be taking advantage of the current situation by tricking unsuspecting users wishing to donate to Ukrainian causes. Elliptic has identified a number of fraudulent crypto fundraising scams which are exploiting the current situation.
