<p class="is-style-lead">HTX, Bitget, and BingX have pledged to donate trading fees to support the Slerf community after the anonymous meme coin developer accidentally burned $10 million in presale funds.</p> 
<p class="is-style-default">Crypto exchanges HTX (formerly <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/huobi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Huobi</a>), <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/bitget/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitget</a>, and <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/bingx/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BingX</a> have announced their commitment to donate proceeds generated from trading activities involving the <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/slerf/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Slerf</a> token to investors who took part in private sales but suffered losses due to the accidental burning of a significant portion of the token supply by the project’s developer.</p> 
<p class="is-style-default">In <a href="https://x.com/justinsuntron/status/1769940876560589210?s=20" target="_blank">an X announcement</a> on Mar. 19, crypto mogul Justin Sun said that HTX will allocate trading fees to “everyone who participated in private sale on HTX,” adding that the exchange will also donate some HTX for Slerf’s trading fee mining on its platform without elaborating on the matter further.</p>
