Binance also seeks to assist those impacted.
- An earthquake of a magnitude of 7.8 hit the south of Turkey earlier today (6 February) and killed more than 1,500 people. Hundreds of buildings have collapsed, which means the number of casualties could increase dramatically once emergency services move through the rubble.

- Bitfinex assured it is working on an aid package and promised to provide updates as soon as possible.
- Bybit was “deeply saddened” by the news and sent condolences to those who lost family members or friends.
"Our assistance has reached the affected area. We wish all Turkish friends the very best and look forward to overcoming this disaster with the least damage,' added the platform.
- Changpeng Zhao – CEO of BINANCE – revealed that his company is also exploring ways to help.
- Cryptocurrency organisations have already supported the affected areas, such as Ukraine.
- Binance, Kraken, and many other industry players donated millions of dollars worth of digital assets to the country shortly after Russia launched its “special military operation” a year ago.
