Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s First Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation, posted requests for cryptocurrency donations in the form of BTC, ETH, and TRC20-USDT on Twitter. Justin Sun announceed his humanitarian support for the Ukrainian people and joined in the donation activity with the hope of cryptos to make the world a better place.
Justin also quickly confirmed that the donation addresses, which Vitalik Buterin found suspicious, were legit and gave out his initial donation of $200,000 in the form of TRON-based USDT. Following his act of generosity, crypto heavyweights such as Vitalik Buterin and Changpeng Zhao also jumped on board and gave their humanitarian support to Ukraine.
Donations made in TRON-based USDT soon reached a record high. As of February 27, the TRON address of Ukraine received 1,618 donations totaling $712,062 over the past 24 hours, with an average donation of $440.
Justin Sun’s announcement and action assisted to raise $10 million in less than 48 hours.
According to Justin Sun in his interview with Bloomberg, he made this donation because “this is a monumental moment in the history of humanitarian donation on a global scale.” He also tweeted that he was really touched to see the small donations springing up in the crypto community every minute. Such easy, quick, and small donations made on the blockchain worldwide were non-existent in human history.
The donation is a landmark event in the development of “Blockchain + Philanthropy”. Justin’s words, “cryptos hope to make the world a better place,” were also echoed by the global crypto community. Looking back on the charitable acts of Justin Sun and TRON, they have made relentless efforts to live up to their responsibilities as a top-notch public chain and a global crypto leader to advance the global charity cause.
