The new donations website, called “Aid for Ukraine,” will see its donations reverted to the National Bank of Ukraine. The crowdfunding site has already fetched over $48.5 million out of the total $200 million it plans to raise. Interested donors can contribute towards the fundraise in Bitcoin, Tether, Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, Dogecoin, Monero, ICON, and NEO N3.

Major crypto exchange FTX, Ukraine-based crypto exchange Kuna, and crypto-staking platform EverStake have co-established the website which will be used to support the country’s humanitarian aid programs and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

So far, the Ukrainian government and NGOs have received more than $100 million in cryptocurrency donations, various news outlets have revealed.
