Leading Silicon Valley blockchain company Ripple has donated substantially to help earthquake victims in Syria and Turkey. 

In a tweet today, Ripple said it would donate $1 million to NGOs providing relief for victims of last week’s devastating earthquake in both countries.

According to Ripple, the donation will be made through a relief fund set up by Crypto for Charity. Ripple said it would donate $250K in XRP and match all crypto donations 2:1, up to $750K.

The move by Ripple to match all crypto donations 2:1 is part of an effort to encourage crypto community members to also donate to the cause.
