Immediate Response to a Devastating Earthquake
In the aftermath of the catastrophic earthquake that struck Morocco, leaving many individuals in dire need of assistance, Binance has stepped forward with a generous relief effort.
Binance Charity is committed to airdropping up to $3 million worth of Binance Coin (BNB) directly to Binance users living in the affected regions.

This amount is valued at $20,957 at the time of writing this article.
Furthermore, individuals who complete POA verification between September 9 and September 30, 2023, will receive $25 in BNB, which is approximately worth $5,239. The distribution of funds to eligible users is set to commence on September 12, 2023.
Global Community Support
In addition to the user-focused initiative, Binance Charity has also established a public donation address to facilitate contributions from the global community. All funds received at this address, whether in BNB, BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, or BUSD, will be directed towards an authorized NGO (to be announced shortly). These funds will be used for the Emergency Earthquake Appeal, with the goal of aiding those in need.
BNB’s Remarkable Performance
As of the time of writing, Binance’s native cryptocurrency, BNB, is trading at $208, boasting a 24-hour trading volume of $520 million.
