As revealed by the analytics platform, one of the organizations from within Ukraine, which has been helping in crowdfunding for the country’s defense effort is Come Back Alive.

The group has reportedly received about $200,000 in funding between September and December 2021, providing support primarily for Ukraine’s army.

Also, Cybersecurity organizations have been receiving funding via cryptocurrencies for years now. A suitable example of such an organization is the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance.

The group predominantly carries out cyber operations against Russia-based hackers and propaganda disseminators. The organization relies solely on donations from supporters across the world via Bitcoin (BTC) or Litecoin mining ventures. Last year, they reportedly received nearly $100,000 donations in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to fund their operations against Russia.
