An increasingly powerful trend: crypto philanthropy
Today we present an increasingly prevalent trend: crypto philanthropy.
In a world where technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, it is not only changing the way we pay, invest, and work, but it is also transforming the way we help others.
Cryptocurrencies are no longer just synonymous with investment or innovation; they are redefining the way we make donations and support social causes with unprecedented transparency, speed and impact.
What is crypto philanthropy?
Crypto philanthropy is the use of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology to make donations to charitable projects, NGOs or people in need.
Imagine sending Bitcoin, Ethereum or other tokens, or using smart contracts that automate the delivery of funds. This new way of donating breaks down geographical and bureaucratic barriers, ensuring that aid gets where it needs to go, when it needs to go.
Advantages of donating with cryptocurrencies
There are many advantages to making donations with cryptocurrencies:
- Total transparency: Thanks to blockchain, every transaction is publicly recorded. This allows donors and beneficiaries to track every coin donated, generating unprecedented trust.
- Speed without borders: A traditional transfer can take days and go through multiple intermediaries. With crypto, funds can reach areas in need in minutes, even if there is no functional local banking system.
- Lower intermediary costs: By eliminating intermediaries, a larger portion of the donated money goes directly into the hands of those who need it. This translates into a much greater real impact.
- Global accessibility: Anyone with a mobile phone and a wallet can receive aid, even if they live in a country without a solid financial infrastructure.
Real-life cases that are inspiring the world
Ukraine: In the midst of war, the Ukrainian government set up addresses to receive donations in crypto. In a few weeks, they received more than $100 million in aid, which was used for medical equipment, food and vital humanitarian support.
GiveDirectly: This platform distributes funds directly to people in extreme poverty using stablecoins, without intermediaries and with full traceability, demonstrating a direct and efficient impact.
The Giving Block: This platform allows NGOs and universities to accept donations in crypto, having raised millions for various causes such as medical research, refugee aid and environmental sustainability.
