- Airdrops involve crypto projects sending free tokens en masse to their communities in a bid to encourage adoption. El Salvador previously air-dropped $30 worth of bitcoin to each of its citizens last year. The airdrop on Thursday, however, would mark the first time a nation conducts an airdrop for crypto donations. It wasn't clear which token Ukraine plans to air-drop.
- Ukraine started accepting cryptocurrencies as means of donation on Feb. 26 as Russian troops entered Ukrainian territory in a “special military operation.” The country is accepting donations in bitcoin, ether, USDT and Polkadot’s DOT tokens.
- The country has received $33 million in crypto donations so far, as reported.
