Some blockchain and cryptocurrency firms have pledged to help victims of the coronavirus in Wuhan, China.
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance pledged to donate 10 million Chinese yuan to the effort.
"For #Wuhan, not realistic to do crypto to end beneficiaries. Binance pledged 10m RMB to help #coronavirus victims. We didn't make any announcements. But BCF/Binance team has been busy for the last few days. Still need help to arrange logistics locally."
According to a Jan. 25 WeChat post by blockchain marketing service firm Krypital, the firm also launched a charity donation effort to acquire medical supplies for Wuhan coronavirus victims.
Krypital also announced that it will create a blockchain-based donation system that allows for greater transparency and efficiency.
The company is also recruiting volunteers for group administration, material purchase, sorting and transportation management, media announcements and graphic designers.
