Bybit donates over $300,000 to support earthquake relief in Myanmar and Thailand
DUBAI, UAE, June 5, 2025 /CNW/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has pledged over $300,000 to support earthquake relief efforts and improve access to clean water and medical aid in Myanmar and Thailand, following the devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck near Mandalay, Myanmar, on March 28.
The earthquake caused widespread destruction in central Myanmar and was strongly felt across the region, including in parts of Thailand. Communities in both countries have been affected, with many left without access to basic necessities.
Bybit's contribution has supported trusted local partners delivering critical aid on the ground, including emergency supplies, food, clean drinking water, and medical care. In Myanmar, support will be directed to Spring Development Bank, Myan Crypto, ANTS, and Bybit Myanmar, in collaboration with Sagaing Region Urgent Earthquake Relief Committee. These partners are providing urgent relief through water access, food distribution, community outreach, and blockchain-based financial assistance.
In Thailand, Bybit has been working with the Thai Red Cross Society, Poh Teck Tung Foundation, and Siriraj Foundation. The funding will help deliver emergency shelter, healthcare, rescue operations, and long-term recovery support for communities affected by the earthquake and its aftermath.
"Our hearts go out to everyone affected by this tragic disaster," said Helen Liu, Chief Operating Officer at Bybit. "At Bybit, we believe in the power of community and the urgency of standing together during moments of crisis. We are honored to support the people of Myanmar and Thailand through partners who are working tirelessly to deliver life-saving aid."

"Nova Scotia is working to grow our economy, and we're happy to see companies investing in their future here," said Premier Tim Houston. "This tax credit will continue to support Maritime Launch Services in creating something truly exciting to be part of – a spaceport here in the Province. In the process, they'll create opportunities for Nova Scotians in rural areas." Spaceport Nova Scotia: Driving Economic Growth and Innovation in Nova Scotia and Sovereign Launch Capability for Canada The CITC-supported infrastructure will generate substantial benefits for the Municipality of the District of Guysborough and the Province as a whole: Job Creation: As the spaceport becomes operational, up to 30 jobs will be created in the local area, spanning technical, operational, and maintenance roles. Local Economic Activity: Infrastructure development and ongoing operations will drive demand across local construction, hospitality, and service sectors.
