Binance Airdrops 1.2 Million USD in BNB to Assist Flood-Affected Users in Southern Taiwan
In response to the damage caused by the recent catastrophic rainfall in southern Taiwan, Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and registered users, announced today that it will airdrop BNB worth up to 1.2 million USD (approximately 35 million New Taiwan Dollars) to users in the most severely affected areas.
User identification will be based on the proof of address (POA) provided by users on Binance, specifically for the regions that have been hit hardest, including: Changhua County, Yunlin County, Chiayi County, Tainan City, and Kaohsiung City.
Existing users who complete the POA verification before August 7, 2025, will receive a voucher for BNB tokens equivalent to 80 USD directly in their Binance accounts. Additionally, the first 15,000 existing users from the disaster-affected areas who complete the POA verification between August 7 and August 20, 2025 (inclusive) will receive a voucher for BNB tokens equivalent to 30 USD.
The charitable donations are expected to be airdropped to eligible users’ accounts starting from August 14.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao stated, “We care about every community and user affected by the severe floods in southern Taiwan, and we hope that this donation can provide them with immediate and tangible assistance. We sincerely wish for every affected person to be able to restore their lives as soon as possible.”
During this difficult time, Binance stands firmly with our users and communities. In the past, Binance Charity has also provided assistance following the Hualien earthquake and has reached out during natural disasters in Thailand, Myanmar, Argentina, Turkey, and Europe.
