In response to the devastation caused by the recent Typhoon Yagi in Northern Vietnam, Binance Charity will airdrop up to $1 million in BNB to registered Binance users identified as living in the areas affected by the tragedy.  

Identification of impacted users will be based on their POA (proof-of-address) information indicating that they reside in one of the 25 cities in Northern Vietnam that have suffered the most significant impact.

Users who have completed POA before September 10, 2024, in these 25 cities will receive $50 worth of BNB directly to their Binance accounts. Furthermore, understanding that not all affected users might have completed their POA by the stipulated date, Binance Charity will airdrop $20 worth of BNB to existing users in the region who have registered before September 10, 2024, and will have completed the POA from September 10, 2024, to September 30, 2024 (both dates inclusive).

The first batch of donations will start reaching the beneficiaries' accounts on September 16, 2024.

Binance CEO Richard Teng said: “We’d like to send our sincere condolences to those who are impacted by the devastating typhoon Yagi in Vietnam. We hope that our efforts can bring some relief to those affected. We stand in solidarity with the community members and hope the community can recover from this disaster soon.”

Binance Charity previously launched several philanthropic initiatives in Vietnam, including saltwater filtration systems and medical supplies donations to help mitigate some issues the people there have been facing.

In this difficult moment, Binance stands by our users and community.
