Communities across the Caribbean have been struck by Hurricane Melissa, suffering widespread damage to homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods. This is a moment of urgent need and long-term recovery. Our thoughts are with the impacted families, the many displaced, and the first responders working around the clock in these devastated regions.

At the heart of our industry and our national spirit is the willingness to step up, mobilize resources and provide direct support. The crypto and blockchain community is answering that call. Blockchain Association is proud to highlight trusted partners and platforms already active on the ground — and accepting cryptocurrency donations — to support both immediate relief and long-term rebuilding.
