Tel Aviv, Israel - 19.10.23 - Crypto Aid Israel, a collective of local leaders in the crypto space, is pleased to report substantial progress in our mission to support Israelis affected by the ongoing wave of Hamas terrorism. The community-backed initiative has raised over $185,000 USD (approximately 700,000 NIS), representing a testament to the solidarity and collective power of the Web3 and crypto community.

Furthermore, over 30 companies have rallied to support our cause, with notable participation from accounting giant KPMG who is providing assistance with fundraising and distributions. Other major companies contributing to the campaign via awareness or financial contributions include crypto wallet provider Zengo, Fuse, Wonderland, Psagot Equity and many more.

Crypto Aid Israel is also announcing two completed rounds of aid distribution to several organizations at the forefront of the relief efforts. These contributions, totalling 200,000 NIS, are intended to make a tangible impact on the lives of those in need. The NGOs who have already received funding from CryptoAidIsrael include:

Foundation for Advancing Citizens of Eshkol Regional Council: an organization that supports the well-being and resilience of Israel's southern communities, particularly in times of conflict, by providing essential services and products.

“We believe that while modest initially, the crypto channel is an important, speedy and innovative one and will enable new contributors to join our global ecosystem and support Israel in such an important hour,“ added Crypto and New Digital Initiatives advisor to Latet’s board, Eyal Gura. “Once we realized the scale of the disaster and have realized it’s Israel’s most challenging times, Latet started to work in an emergency mode. As we did in the past, in over 25 national disasters globally and locally, we allocated the entire organization infrastructure to enable immediate aid to the families in need and will continue to execute as long as it will take.”

Regrettably, Crypto Aid Israel has been the subject of serious phishing attacks, underscoring the ongoing need for heightened vigilance during these challenging circumstances. This concerning development was addressed in a recent Ynet News report. Additionally, a brief disruption in our website's service occurred, lasting less than 30 minutes. This interruption was promptly addressed by our hosting provider, driven by concerns about potential fraudulent activities masquerading as Crypto Aid Israel—an affirmation of our unwavering dedication to transparency and legitimacy.

Tim Freed, a senior leader within Crypto Aid Israel commented: "We are deeply humbled by the outpouring of support from the global crypto community. Together, we have made significant strides in our mission to assist those affected by the recent wave of Hamas terrorism. The completion of two rounds of aid distribution shows how crypto can be used as a force of good in the world. Our commitment to transparency and legitimacy remains unwavering, and we are determined to continue our efforts in providing aid and relief to those in need."

CryptoAidIsrael expresses its gratitude to the global crypto community for its unwavering support.
