[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Domestic cryptocurrency exchange Korbit announced on the 10th that it donated funds to the Purme Foundation Nexon Children's Rehabilitation Hospital located in Mapo-gu, Seoul, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Children's Day.
This year's donation amounted to a total of 170 million KRW, combining 3 Bitcoins (BTC) prepared by Korbit at the company level and an additional 25 million KRW raised by employees.
Last year, Korbit also donated 160 million KRW to the Purme Children's Rehabilitation Hospital on the occasion of Disability Day. At that time, the naming rights for Korea's first Bitcoin and Ethereum trading were created as NFTs, and the auction proceeds were donated. Korbit plans to continue expanding its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management activities in the future.
