Coinbase CEO Unveils Crypto Charity for the Unbanked

Yesterday, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced he is launching a new charity platform, named GiveCrypto, which will hold and distribute cryptocurrencies to people in need. The fund aims to raise $10 million for the first phase, and it has secured $3.5 million so far, including an initial donation of $1 million from Armstrong. The non-profit also has a long-term goal of reaching $1 billion fund size in the next two years. Amstrong stated:
