After a natural disaster occurs, people often find it difficult to access traditional banking services when they need additional funds to help meet their medical supplies, food, and other basic needs. Cryptocurrency transfers are increasingly being used to provide economic assistance to disaster victims due to their fast, low-cost, borderless, and transparent transactions.
The Bitget team expressed their hope that the impact of this earthquake can be minimized, and that all Taiwanese people can safely overcome this difficult situation.
