Binance TH, Binance Charity and Changpeng Zhao pledge to support up to $1.5 Million in the Earthquake-Affected Areas in Myanmar and Thailand.
In response to the recent devastating earthquake centered in Myanmar and surrounding areas including Thailand. Binance Charity, together with Binance co-founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ), will launch a joint effort to airdrop up to $1.5 million equivalent in BNB to the users of Binance.com living in affected areas of Myanmar, as well as the users of Binance’s subsidiary in Thailand, Binance TH by Gulf Binance, in Thailand to support relief efforts in the region.
For Thailand, the areas considered affected can be found on Binance TH (www.binance.th) FAQ section and Binance Charity (https://www.binance.charity/) website. The identification of the users will be based on their living address information provided to Binance TH by Gulf Binance. We expect the funds to reach eligible users at the latest by April 14, 2025.
“In times of crisis, every second counts,” CZ said. “Blockchain and digital assets have provided an effective and efficient means of delivering financial aid to disaster victims. We encourage more people to join us to lend a helping hand to the needy and the less fortunate at this critical moment.”
Binance CEO Richard Teng said, “We are deeply saddened by the devastating earthquake that struck Myanmar, Thailand and the surrounding regions. Our prayers go out to the victims, their families and all those affected by the tragedy. Binance stands in solidarity with the communities and we sincerely hope that our efforts can provide some relief during this challenging time.”
“I extend my deepest condolences to the families who have lost loved ones, and my heartfelt sympathies to everyone affected by the recent earthquake,” said Nirun Fuwattananukul, CEO of Binance TH by Gulf Binance. “In partnership with Binance Charity, we are committed to finding innovative ways to provide support during this time of crisis, and to demonstrate our care for our users and the wider community. We also encourage recipients of these donations to pay it forward—if possible—so that aid reaches those who may be in even greater need.”
Additionally, Binance TH recognizes the vital role played by various agencies, especially the Police K9 Unit, which has been instrumental in searching for survivors during this crisis. Binance TH by Gulf Binance will donate an additional 200,000 THB to the K9 USAR Thailand under the Environmental and Social Foundation, to support the training of dogs for future missions and special operations.
Binance Charity remains committed to providing unwavering support to those in need through the power of blockchain technology. Previously, it has launched philanthropic initiatives in Spain, Turkey, Argentina, Libya, Vietnam and more.
