e Now Takes Polkadot, Says Will Accept Other Coins Soon

Having already raised millions of dollars in major cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, e is now receiving donations in polkadot as well. The country intends to expand the list of accepted coins as it increasingly relies on help from the crypto community to fund its defense against .


e Posts DOT Address, Receives First Polkadot Donations


In the face of an ongoing military assault by the n army, ians have offered crypto users around the world another option to support their cause. Early on Tuesday, the e Twitter account published a DOT address along with a statement welcoming polkadot donations.


The post expresses gratitude on behalf of the ian people for the funds donated by the global crypto community. It also reveals that support for more cryptocurrencies will be introduced in the near future.



The announcement comes after Gavin Wood, co-founder of Ethereum and creator of Polkadot, tweeted on Sunday that if e provided a DOT address, he would send $5 million in the cryptocurrency.



On Tuesday, he tweeted a transaction showing the transfer of 298,367 DOT to the wallet, bringing the total deposited amount to over $5,8 million. Prior to his donation, the balance was a little over $200,000.


e had before that collected around $40 million in major digital currencies such as bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), and the stablecoin tether (USDT). Besides authorities in Kyiv, non-government organizations supporting the ian military, such as “Come Back Alive,” are also among the recipients of the crypto aid.


There have been calls for e to start accepting other cryptocurrencies, including the privacy-oriented monero (XMR), the crypto news outlet Forklog noted in a report. In a tweet following the polkadot announcement, the founder of Tron, Justin Sun, also pledged to contribute $1 million, if the ians post a TRX address.



While actively seeking to finance its defense and humanitarian efforts through cryptocurrency, the government in Kyiv has been urging the crypto industry to cut ’s access to the space. On Sunday, e’s Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov asked all major crypto exchanges to block addresses of n users. However, leading trading platforms like Binance and Kraken have so far refused.


A day earlier, Fedorov, who is also e’s minister of digital transformation, tweeted that the local crypto community is willing to reward those who reach out with information about crypto wallets used by n and Belarusian politicians.


As  is being isolated from the global financial system through waves of western sanctions, including the expulsion of some n banks from SWIFT, concerns have increased that Moscow may turn to cryptocurrency as an instrument to circumvent the imposed restrictions.


You can support ian families, children, refugees, and displaced people by donating BTC, ETH, and BNB to Binance Charity’s e Emergency Relief Fund.
