Ukraine's crypto crowdfunding

This update is the latest in a series of crypto related crowdfunding efforts on behalf of the Ukrainian government in the wake of Russia's invasion.

Previously, the Ukrainian government's official Twitter account was publishing information relating to the country's crypto donations.

Since yesterday, official updates have moved from the Ukrainian government Twitter account to that of the Vice Prime Minister, Fedorov.

During the last week, Ukraine has been receiving crypto donations in the form of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies. On February 26, 2022, the government first announced it was "now accepting cryptocurrency donations."

Per blockchain records, the government has received over $10 million and $16 million in Bitcoin and Ethereum respectively.

To date, the total amount of cryptocurrency raised has reached over $50 million.
