When the Russian-Ukrainian War was going on, NFT became a tool for "aiding Ukraine"

Since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, in addition to the encrypted assets BTC and ETH as funds to support the war in Ukraine, the non-fungible token NFT has also become a tool for "aiding Ukraine".

On March 8, Ukrainian boxing star Wladimir Klitschko plans to release an NFT to raise funds to support Ukraine's war effort, and the funds raised will be donated to the Ukrainian Red Cross and UNICEF.

In addition to sports players, Ukrainian media agencies Ukrainska Pravda, Novoye Vremya, and Hromadske are also planning to launch NFTs to raise $1 million, which goes directly to the media itself to support coverage during the war.

In addition, a Russian feminist punk group and a crypto organization joined forces to form the Ukraine DAO, which raised over $7.1 million in Ukrainian flag NFTs.

Blockchain technology and crypto assets are very prominent in this war.
