DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is deeply saddened by the devastating earthquake that struck Tibet earlier this week, leaving a trail of destruction and heartache.
The tragedy has claimed at least 126 lives, injured 188 people, and displaced tens of thousands as over 3,000 buildings collapsed in the remote region near the northern base of Mount Everest. In response, Bybit is committing RMB 5 million in collaboration with the Red Cross Society of China (RCSC) to support critical relief and recovery efforts in the affected communities.
The 7.1-magnitude earthquake, which struck on January 7, has caused widespread devastation, with extreme winter conditions complicating rescue operations. More than 14,000 rescue workers have been mobilized to search for survivors amid sub-zero temperatures and strong winds, highlighting the urgent need for immediate aid.
“As a responsible global leader in the blockchain industry, Bybit is committed to standing with communities in their time of need,” said Helen Liu, Chief Operating Officer at Bybit. “Our thoughts are with the survivors, the rescue teams, and the families affected by this tragic event. We hope our contribution will help provide much-needed relief and support the road to recovery.”
The donation will be directed towards essential services, including emergency shelter, medical supplies, and food aid, as well as long-term rehabilitation efforts. Bybit is proud to partner with RCSC to ensure swift and impactful assistance to those in need.
At Bybit, they firmly believe in the power of compassion and collaboration. This contribution reflects their commitment to fostering resilience and hope in the face of adversity.
