Ripple Donates $300K for Nepal and Tibet Flood Relief — Crypto Payment Method Still Unclear
Ripple has pledged $300,000 to support emergency relief efforts following catastrophic floods across Nepal and China’s Tibet region. The donation, announced on August 29, will be divided between World Central Kitchen (WCK) and Mercy Corps, two humanitarian organizations providing urgent assistance to affected communities.
Where the Money Will Go
World Central Kitchen:
WCK is working with local restaurant partners to provide hot meals in some of the hardest-hit areas, including Nepal’s Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts. The organization is also expanding its relief teams as conditions allow.
Mercy Corps:
Mercy Corps is supporting emergency water, sanitation and humanitarian services while coordinating with local authorities and partner organizations on the ground.
Was Crypto Used?
Despite Ripple’s strong connection to blockchain and digital assets, the company has not confirmed whether XRP, RLUSD or another cryptocurrency will be used for this particular $300,000 contribution. Ripple has previously explored blockchain-based solutions for humanitarian aid, including faster cross-border payments and digital distribution of relief funds.
