Singapore-based Bitget crypto exchange has reportedly donated ₺1 million ($53,000) to help the victims of a devastating magnitude 7.8 earthquake that hit southern Turkey at 4:17 a.m. on Feb. 6, 2023.
Crypto industry comes together for a good cause
The earthquake, which has so far caused the deaths of more than 1,700 people and destroyed parts of Turkey and Syria, sparked an outpouring of support from the crypto industry, with several crypto exchanges already preparing aid packages for those affected.
Governments and organizations from all over the globe have rushed to help the earthquake victims. They have offered support through food, medical supplies, funding, and human resources. Several crypto trading platforms, including BitMEX, Bitfinex, Gate.io, and Bybit, have also pledged similar relief efforts.
Before Bitget’s reported donation, Binance CEO ឆាងផេងហ្សូ។, also known as CZ, took to social media to commiserate with the people affected by the earthquake and hinted at plans to extend them some form of support.
