Public Key Episode 2 preview: Ukrainian fundraising with cryptocurrency, Russian crypto whales, and more
Soon after Russia’s invasion, Ukrainian leaders knew they had to raise charitable donations for weapons, armor, and other supplies for the war effort. But due to the military nature of the spending, many traditional fundraising methods were restricted for Ukraine. That’s when the country decided to leverage the power of cryptocurrency to raise funds from donors around the world.
In this episode of Public Key, our host, Ian Andrews, CMO at Chainalysis, sits down for an encore presentation with his colleagues, Kimberly Grauer, Director of Research, and Salman Banaei, Head of Public Policy for North America, to discuss emerging cryptocurrency adoption in Ukraine and the benefits of cryptocurrency humanitarian fundraising efforts.
The trio also touches on how illicit actors take advantage of these crises for scamming, and on whether or not cryptocurrency exchanges should heed Ukrainian officials’ requests to ban Russian users from their platforms — this comes as ruble trading volumes on exchanges have spiked in recent weeks. The informative discussion continues with data-driven reasoning as to why Russian oligarchs are not evading sanctions via large value cryptocurrency transactions. Finally, the panel concludes the conversation by examining inflows and outflows of cryptocurrency exchanges frequented by Russian users and analyzing the activity of Russian cryptocurrency whales.
