Upbit Supports Turkey Earthquake Victims with Bitcoin and User Participation

Dunamu, the operator of the domestic virtual asset exchange Upbit, announced on the 2nd that it has launched a fundraising campaign with the UNICEF Korea Committee to support relief efforts for the earthquake damage in Turkey.

Upbit deeply sympathizes with the suffering caused by the earthquake damage in Turkey and has decided to join the relief fundraising campaign together with UNICEF. This fundraising campaign is conducted through a matching grant system, where Upbit will additionally donate an amount up to a certain limit matching the Bitcoin donations made by Upbit users to the electronic wallet address for donations.

Users can participate in the campaign by withdrawing Bitcoin to the deposit address (turkiye_donation) using Upbit's instant withdrawal feature. The campaign will run until 12 PM on the 14th of this month, and Upbit will provide a non-fungible token (NFT) as proof of donation to users who participate in the donation.

The donations delivered to UNICEF will be used for ▲reconstruction of earthquake-affected areas ▲support for clean water and sanitation ▲safe medical and health support ▲educational service support for children in the affected areas.

Lee Seok-woo, CEO of Dunamu, said, "We deeply mourn the many casualties and infrastructure collapse caused by the massive earthquake in the Turkey region," adding, "We hope that the relief funds collected together by Upbit users will bring a small hope and help to the recovery from the earthquake damage."

Meanwhile, Dunamu plans to disclose the status of the Turkey relief fundraising through its metaverse platform, SecondBlock.
