Part of the funds raised at Bayraktar were received in cryptocurrency

In three days, Serhiy Prytula’s charitable foundation raised UAH 600 million for four Bayraktar TB2 drones. Of the funds raised, more than UAH 8 million was received in cryptocurrency.

According to the press service of Serhiy Prytula’s foundation, UAH 5 million of the crypto contributions received were in USDT, almost UAH 2 million in bitcoin, and UAH 741,000 in ethereum. Interestingly, the smallest transaction in fiat currency amounted to 1 kopeck, and the largest was UAH 5 million.

Funds for the People’s Bairaktars are not the first charitable assistance to Ukrainians in cryptocurrency. In early May, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy launched United24, a fundraising platform that accepts cryptocurrency transfers ($ 70,518,663 has been raised so far). WhitePay, a cryptocurrency processing system that has developed a PoS terminal (accepting both fiat and cryptocurrency transfers), became a partner of the project. Depending on what the donor wants to send money for, the system directs them to the appropriate page with the targeted fee.
