If you have some crypto laying around for Ukraine, you can read in this post how to donate it. We assume that you already own crypto and that it stored on an exchange or in a wallet.

Official wallet addresses of Ukraine:

• BTC: 357a3So9CbsNfBBgFYACGvxxS6tMaDoa1P (source)
• ETH and USDT (ERC-20): 0x165CD37b4C644C2921454429E7F9358d18A45e14 (source)
• USDT (TRC20 NOTE: TRON NETWORK): TEFccmfQ38cZS1DTZVhsxKVDckA8Y6VfCy (source)

At the moment it is cheapest to send USDT using the Tron network (TRC20). However, keep in mind that not all wallets and exchanges support this. If the Tron network is not explicitly indicated, it is often not supported.

Don’t own crypto to donate

Don’t have crypto to donate, but you do want to help? There are a lot of governments and companies that accept donations in your own fiat currency. Just search for Ukraine donation in the search engine. Choose something from your local government or a big company like UNICEF.

If you want to donate with crypto, you can also do this by creating an account at an exchange. See here how to buy crypto on Bitvavo or here how to buy crypto on Binance. At the moment, Ukraine accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT.
