Cryptocurrency Goes to War

"Total donations to the APU in cryptocurrency have grown to $12.7 million. This is just two days! Most of all donations are made to Ethereum - $5.5 million, Bitcoin - $4.4 million, Tether - $2.1 million."

– Ukraine's Minister of Digital Transformation, speaking on cryptocurrency donations to the army 

Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov, excitedly relayed on his Telegram this week that over the period of two days Ukraine received an increase in cryptocurrency to its army by $12.7 million.

Mikhail Fedorov could not be more excited, and along with breaking down which currencies were donated (Ethereum being the highest) he also gave out the accounts so that more people could continue to give to the armed forces:

• BTC - 357a3So9CbsNfBBgFYACGvxxS6tMaDoa1P

• ETH and USDT (erc20) - 0x165CD37b4C644C2921454429E7F9358d18A45e14
