Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), an international humanitarian organization offering medical help around the world, has received approximately $3.5 million worth of Ethereum as a donation—drawn from the proceeds of an NFT sale.
The donor—who remains anonymous—is “supported” by the Generative Art and Art Blocks communities, which have sprung up around the work of non-fungible token (NFT) artists.
Per the MSF, the donation represented 25% of the sale of a series of artworks, and was processed to AUD upon receipt. The donation was sent via The Giving Block, a platform that facilitates cryptocurrency donations.
“We are grateful for the extraordinary generosity of the Generative Art and Art Blocks communities. This game-changing crypto donation comes at a time where the COVID-19 emergency has compounded the already urgent medical needs of people around the world,” said Jennifer Tierney, MSF Australia executive director.
