Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) and Oprah Winfrey have launched an initiative to help those affected by the devastating wildfires in Maui, Hawaii. The People’s Fund of Maui is open to contributors from all over the world and accepts donations in cryptocurrencies. Every adult resident of Lahaina and Kula is eligible to receive $1,200 per month to help them through this period of recovery. The Rock and Oprah have donated $10 million to the fund and are encouraging others to do the same. Supported digital currencies include Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT), Polygon (MATIC), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Shiba Inu (SHIB). The wildfires in Maui have been the deadliest in the US in the past century, claiming the lives of over 100 people and destroying countless homes, buildings, and businesses. Cryptocurrency exchanges have also been involved in other good causes, such as the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, and the war in Ukraine. Binance airdropped $5 million worth of BNB to affected Turkish users, and Ukraine raised over $225M in crypto as of the end of July.
