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

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

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.

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.
