Binance Charity’s USDT Donation for Hualien Relief
Binance Charity and the Taiwan Blockchain Enthusiasts Association launched a USDT donation drive after the Hualien Guangfu Township dam collapse. The campaign raised 117,210 USDT—including 100,000 USDT from Binance Charity and 17,210 USDT from community contributors. All funds were converted onshore to New Taiwan dollars via local virtual asset service providers and transferred to the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Disaster Relief Foundation for the “0923 Hualien Mataian Creek Landslide Project”. Binance Charity emphasized transparency and compliance of its blockchain philanthropy model. CEO Richard Teng extended condolences and urged ongoing USDT donation support for recovery. Association chair Gao Qijun noted the drive shows how stablecoin aid can transcend borders. Binance Charity will also allocate an additional US$100,000 in volunteer subsidies for cleanup efforts.

The USDT donation drive highlights growing stablecoin utility in humanitarian aid but has no direct impact on USDT market pricing or liquidity. Short-term, conversion and transfer of stablecoins occur within normal operations without affecting reserves. Long-term, increased adoption reinforces USDT’s role in real-world use cases, yet this philanthropic use is unlikely to influence trading behavior significantly.
