Binance Charity and Changpeng Zhao Launch Joint Donation, Aiming to Distribute $1.5 Million to Users Affected by Earthquakes in Myanmar and Thailand.
In response to the recent devastating earthquake centered in Myanmar, 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 Binance and Binance TH users identified as living in the affected areas in Myanmar and Thailand respectively, to support relief efforts in the region.
Identification of the users will be based on their KYC (identity verification) or POA (proof-of-address) information. Users who have completed KYC or POA before March 31, 2025, will receive the corresponding amount of BNB token vouchers in their Reward Hub, based on the information that user submitted. The distribution criteria of each country is shown below:
For Myanmar:
● $5 in BNB for all KYC-verified and non-dormant users.
● $50 in BNB for users who have completed KYC and POA in the most impacted area.
For Thailand (“Binance TH by Gulf Binance” users only):
● $5 in BNB for all the “Gulf Binance users” who completed the KYC with the living
address.
● $10 in BNB for the “Gulf Binance users” who completed the KYC with the living
address in the most impacted area.
We expect the funds to reach eligible users at the latest by April 14, 2025.
This initiative, launched by Binance Charity and partnered with CZ who pledged to donate 500 BNB each to Myanmar and Thailand, seeks to assist users affected by the catastrophic disaster.
“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 hope our efforts can provide some relief during this challenging time.”
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.
