Around The Block Ep 18 - Crypto’s Role in the Ukraine Crisis with Elliptic’s Dr. Tom Robinson

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian government solicited donations in cryptocurrency - the first time a nation-state has ever done so. What followed was tens of millions raised in donations by the Ukrainian government and NGOs in Bitcoin, ETH, stablecoins, and even NFTs. Suppliers of the Ukrainian government even started accepting crypto as payment. In this conversation we sit down with Elliptic co-founder and Chief Scientist Dr. Tom Robinson to discuss what the analytics’s firm has observed since the crisis broke out.
