Crypto donations exceeded one billion dollars in 2024, a historic record brought by the market increase and a more favorable regulatory framework.
An explosion of donations
According to The Giving Block report, more than 70 % of large American charitable organizations now accept donations in crypto.
Five states concentrate the majority of donations: New York leads with 22 %of the total volume, followed by Florida (15 %), California (13 %), Pennsylvania (11 %) and Washington DC (10 %). This distribution evolves each year, a sign of a democratization of donations in crypto across the country.
Education and health are the most sustained causes, receiving 16 % and 14 % of donations respectively. The other sectors share the rest of the contributions, with shares varying from 1 % to 10 %.
The year 2024 also marks a change in the cryptos used for donations. While stablecoins represented 44 % of donations in 2023, four cryptocurrencies now dominate the market: Bitcoin, Ether, XRP and Solana total 90 % of the active ingredients.
A promising future carried by a new generation
Who are the donors of cryptocurrencies? The standard profile of the donor is an investor between 20 and 30 years old with a substantial heritage. There are two categories: on the one hand, blockchain enthusiasts, “cryptocurrency”, and on the other, the “optimistic investors” who seek to combine tax reduction and societal commitment.
The Giving Block has declared In Cointelegraph that crypto donations have significant tax advantages compared to conventional donations, with greater flexibility than actions. The arrival of artificial intelligence in this sector promises to open new perspectives for blockchain projects with social impact.
In short, the future promises to be promising for crypto philanthropy. The Giving Block anticipates $ 2.5 billion in donations in 2025, with an increasing diversification of the active ingredients, including the same. In the longer term, the sector could reach $ 89 billion by 2035.
Meanwhile, the platform launched an emergency fund to support fire victims in Los Angeles. This solidarity initiative proves that cryptos, despite criticism, are imposed as charities that are both effective and transparent.
