Abstract:Binance supports Morocco earthquake victims with a $3 million BNB airdrop. Benefiting 70,000 users, the initiative reflects cryptocurrency's role in disaster relief. Learn how you can contribute.
In a remarkable act of solidarity, Binance, one of the world's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has come forward to help the victims of the recent catastrophic earthquake in Morocco. They've announced a heartfelt initiative: an airdrop of up to $3 million in BNB, their native cryptocurrency.
The tragedy deeply affected the Marrakesh-Safi Province, recording the highest damage. Binance's charity arm aims to ensure that help reaches where it's most needed. To do this, they have adopted a systematic approach to distributing the funds.
For Binance users residing in this hardest-hit region, here's how the assistance will be meted out:
Users who've already completed their Proof of Address (POA) formalities before September 9, 2023, will be eligible to receive a generous amount of $100 in BNB directly into their Binance accounts.
Binance understands that not everyone might have completed the POA by the specified date. Thus, any user who completes their POA between September 9 and September 30, 2023, will be credited with $25 in BNB.
Even if some users aren't directly residing in the quake's epicenter but are active transactors across Morocco, Binance hasn't forgotten them. They'll be gifted $10 in BNB.
Overall, Binance estimates that their efforts will touch the lives of approximately 70,000 users in Morocco. These beneficiaries can expect to see their BNB support reflected in their accounts as early as September 12, 2023.
Natural disasters often cripple traditional banking methods, precisely when people need financial support the most – be it for medical needs, food, or other vital necessities. Cryptocurrencies, with their speedy, cost-effective, and transparent nature, are emerging as the knight in shining armor during such crises. Binance's gesture is a testament to this new trend.
Speaking on this initiative, Binance's founder and CEO, CZ stated, “The aftermath of the earthquake has been harrowing for the people of Morocco. While we can't undo the devastation, we certainly hope our support brings some respite. If you're a Moroccan user who fortunately hasn't been affected by the quake but received our donation, we earnestly request you to forward it to someone who truly needs it.”
But Binance's charity doesn't stop there. They've also opened their arms to the global community. A public donation address has been set up, encouraging contributions in various cryptocurrencies, including BNB, BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, and BUSD. The total amount collected will be channeled to a soon-to-be-announced recognized NGO for the best use.
In these challenging times, it's heartening to see Binance standing firmly beside its Moroccan community, pledging unwavering support and exploring more ways to assist.
