<p>According to Fintech Finance News, Singapore Red Cross, a local humanitarian aid and community services charity, is now accepting donations in the form of cryptocurrencies. The move follows the organization’s new partnership with <a aria-label="Triple-A (opens in a new tab)" href="https://triple-a.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">Triple-A</a>, the first crypto payment gateway licensed by Singapore’s central bank.</p>

<h3 id="crypto-donations-open-more-opportunities-for-the-new-generation-of-donors">Crypto Donations Open “More Opportunities for the New Generation of Donors”</h3> 
<p>Singapore Red Cross’s decision to add support for cryptocurrencies comes from the ever-growing popularity of blockchain technology and the global accessibility of those assets, according to Benjamin William, Secretary General and CEO of the charity organization.</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 <p>“By accepting digital currencies, we open our doors to a new segment of donors who are tech-savvy and wish to make a difference through their digital assets. Enabling cryptocurrency donations also opens more opportunities for the new generation of donors who are au fait with digital currencies to consider philanthropy and helping the vulnerable.”</p> <cite>– Benjamin William, Secretary General and CEO of Singapore Red Cross.</cite> 
</blockquote> 
<p>The use of crypto for humanitarian efforts has been on the rise recently, with a record number of nonprofits beginning to accept digital assets as a means of payment in 2022, despite the <a href="https://tokenist.com/over-12000-cryptocurrencies-have-one-month-of-no-trading-volume-in-2022/" class="deco-link" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">sharp market downturn</a>. For instance, a series of charity organizations <a href="https://tokenist.com/crypto-donations-pour-in-after-catastrophic-earthquakes-in-turkey-and-syria/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">accepted crypto donations</a> to help those affected by catastrophic earthquakes in Turkey earlier this year. Similarly, cryptocurrencies played an essential role in donations to <a href="https://tokenist.com/looking-back-at-cryptos-utility-during-the-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-in-2022/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">aid the Ukrainians</a> following Russia’s invasion in February last year.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>According to The Giving Block’s “<a aria-label="2023 Annual Report on Crypto Philanthropy (opens in a new tab)" href="https://thegivingblock.com/annual-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">2023 Annual Report on Crypto Philanthropy</a>,” crypto donations are expected to exceed $10 billion over the next decade.&nbsp;</p>
