How will FTX help Ukraine?
FTX will lend its support in the first project of its kind to the ‘Aid for Ukraine’ project. By setting up a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) the project will focus on 1) accepting crypto donations, and 2) directly offramp them in fiat currency into the Ukrainian central bank.
Earlier, the CEO of FTX has highlighted the growth of the cryptocurrency ecosystem in Ukraine and also mentioned how fiat currencies have cheapened following the Russian invasion.
However, the conflict between the two countries has shaken the world’s humanity and economy. To pressurise the Russian Government, a union of nations has announced some sanctions. Meanwhile, this has also led to rapid adoption and dependency on cryptocurrency.
