Crypto With a Cause: How the $VETS Token is Turning Digital Assets into Real-World Impact for America's Veterans
Richmond, VA, United States, August 1, 2025 -- With headlines often dominated by crypto speculation and volatile markets, one emerging token is taking a different path -using blockchain to serve a greater purpose. The $VETS token, a cryptocurrency dedicated to supporting America's veterans, recently made its largest contribution to date: a $25,000 donation to Liberation Veteran Services, hand-delivered by none other than Dog the Bounty Hunter.
The event was part celebration, part mission statement. Set against the backdrop of the Liberation Veteran Services facility in Richmond, the ceremony highlighted the tangible results of the 'Crypto for a Cause' movement that $VETS is pioneering.
From the Blockchain to the Frontlines of Support
The donation brings the total amount given by the $VETS community to $37,500 — including a $12,500 contribution to Charlie 22 Outdoors, a non-profit supporting veteran wellness through outdoor therapy.
Founded on the principle that crypto and compassion can coexist, $VETS operates with a simple model: investors buy a token, and a percentage of transaction fees is donated directly to reputable veterans' organizations.
'We believe that investing should have meaning,' said a $VETS team representative. 'Every dollar in the $VETS ecosystem moves us one step closer to a better life for veterans in need.'
Liberation Veteran Services: A Lifeline for Those Who Served
LVS provides critical housing, rehabilitation, and job-readiness services to veterans struggling with homelessness or trauma. Their impact has helped hundreds of former service members regain stability, purpose, and self-reliance.
The $25,000 gift will go toward expanding transitional housing and support programming.
'This isn't just a donation - it's a partnership,' said an LVS staff member. 'Support from the $VETS token allows us to scale our impact and reach more veterans when they need it most.'
Dog the Bounty Hunter Lends His Voice
Television personality and outspoken veteran advocate Dog the Bounty Hunter delivered the donation in person, calling it 'a shining example of how new technologies like crypto can be a force for good.'
He urged Americans to look at $VETS not just as an investment opportunity, but as a patriotic act.
'What better way to get into crypto than by helping our heroes at the same time?' Dog remarked during the event.
Invest in Change
The $VETS team invites supporters, investors, and patriots alike to join their mission. As the token continues to grow, so will its commitment to veteran-focused causes across the nation.

Canada's trade minister confident that countries will come to a deal
Trump imposed heightened tariffs on Canada on Thursday. The levies only apply to goods not covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement that Trump negotiated in his first term, meaning much of Canada's economy is insulated. Still, Canada's steel and aluminum industries are feeling the heat, with the White House working to revitalize American production capacity. 'We understand and respect totally the President's view in terms of the national security interest,' LeBlanc said. 'In fact, we share it, and what we've said to our American counterparts is, how can we structure the right agreement, where we can both continue to supply one another in a reliable, cost-effective way that preserves jobs essential to the American economy, but the same thing is true, obviously in Canada as well.' Another wrinkle: Trump last week suggested on his social media platform that Carney's pledge to recognize Palestinian statehood could imperil talks, making it 'very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them.' But LeBlanc, who left Washington on Friday after spending much of the week in town meeting with senior White House officials, remains positive. He cites the connective tissue underpinning the two countries' economies as a key reason for hope. 'One description which I thought was very apt: we don't sell things to each other as much as we build things together,' he told Brennan. 'And that's why it's difficult in this relationship when so much is integrated, but we remain very optimistic.'

Canadian trade minister says "we're prepared to stick around and do the work needed" after U.S. imposed 35% tariff on goods
Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Sunday that "we're prepared to stick around and do the work needed" despite having left Washington without a new trade deal amid increased tariffs from President Trump. "We believe there's a great deal of common ground between the United States and Canada in terms of building two strong economies that work well together," LeBlanc said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." The White House announced last week that duties would jump from 25% to 35% on Canadian goods not covered under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, claiming that the U.S.' second-largest trading partner hasn't done enough to address immigration and the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. LeBlanc said that while "we were obviously disappointed by that decision," negotiators would "continue to do the work." LeBlanc said his team left with "a better understanding of the American concerns in the trading relationship" and characterizing the meetings with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick as "constructive, cordial conversations." "We're encouraged by the conversations with Secretary Lutnick and Ambassador Greer, but we're not yet where we need to go to get the deal that's in the best interest of the two economies," LeBlanc said. Mr. Trump announced higher tariffs against more than 60 U.S. trading partners late last week. But Canada is the largest American trading partner included, being the world's largest buyer of American goods and the third-largest seller of goods to the U.S. last year, according to Census Bureau data. The country bought some $350 billion worth of American goods and sold $412 billion to the U.S. market in 2024. In an interview for "Face the Nation" on Friday, Greer cited Canada's retaliatory tariffs imposed earlier this year under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for the increase, saying, "if the president's going to take an action and the Canadians retaliate, the United States needs to maintain the integrity of our action, the effectiveness, so we have to go up too." "Our view is the president is trying to fix the terms of trade with Canada, and if there's a way to a deal, we'll find it," Greer said. "And if it's not, we'll have the tariff levels that we have." In a statement released Friday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was "disappointed" by Mr. Trump's actions. He noted that "Canada accounts for only 1% of U.S. fentanyl imports and has been working intensively to further reduce these volumes." On Sunday, LeBlanc said he expects Carney will have a conversation with Mr. Trump "over the next number of days," while noting that the Canadian prime minister has "built a very business-like, respectful relationship with President Trump." "We understand and respect totally the president's view in terms of the national security interests. In fact, we share it," LeBlanc said. "And what we've said to our American counterparts is, how can we structure the right agreement where we can both continue to supply one another in a reliable, cost effective way that preserves jobs essential to the American economy? But the same thing is true, obviously in Canada as well." The U.S.-Canada relationship has been strained since Mr. Trump came into office in January and repeatedly suggested that Canada could become the "51st state." Carney emphatically denied this in an Oval Office meeting with Mr. Trump in May, saying Canada is "not for sale."

A Good Plan to Keep Social Security Solvent
Andrew Biggs's 'A Risky Plan for Social Security' warns that the bipartisan reform plan to provide long-term solvency for the Social Security system proposed by Sens. Bill Cassidy (R., La.) and Tim Kaine (D., Va.) is too risky (op-ed, July 25). But the Cassidy-Kaine plan is much less risky than ignoring Social Security's current $25 trillion funding gap and allowing its trust fund to be depleted by 2033. Messrs. Cassidy and Kaine based their proposal on extensive evidence that diversified investing produces much higher long-term returns than reliance on low-yield Treasury bonds.
