Throughout November, we took part in multiple initiatives driven by our entrepreneurial spirit and the bustling pace of an ecosystem that kept moving at high speed, with numerous all-time highs for cryptocurrencies during the month.
We Collaborated with Those Affected by the floods in Valencia
In solidarity with those impacted in the Valencian Community by the damage caused by the floods, we enabled ETH, BTC, and USDT addresses for two weeks, allowing voluntary donations with zero commission. These funds, combined with contributions from C.D. Castellón, resulted in a total donation of over €410,000 for this cause.
Through this action, we reinforced our commitment to the community and our region of origin, fostering mutual and swift aid in times of need.
