Millions in Donations Raised for Ukraine by NFT SalesIt feels like NFTs have been taking over the world recently, with more and more types of communities getting involved by the day. From major visual artists to global fashion brands and from video game studios to superstar rappers, everyone is rushing in to join the trend. One aspect of human life in 2022 no one was probably expecting to be drawn into the NFT phenomena is armed conflict between nations, actual war, but here we are. Soon after the start of hostilities in Ukraine, and the countless human tragedies that followed it, NFTs were being used to raise funds for helping refugees and other causes. The biggest example so far is UkraineDAO which crowdfunded 2,100 ETH by 2nd of March, worth over $6 million at the time. That event was initiated by Nadya Tolokonnikova – the Russian artist, activist and member of the anarchist feminist punk rock group Pussy Riot.
