In sum, 85% of all donation volume was comprised of bitcoin, ether, and USD coin.<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 132px;" border="1"><tbody><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 22px;">Cryptocurrency</td><td style="width: 50%; height: 22px;">Amount donated</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 22px;">Ethereum</td><td style="width: 50%; height: 22px;">$30,794,056</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 22px;">Bitcoin</td><td style="width: 50%; height: 22px;">$25,885,974</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 22px;">USD Coin</td><td style="width: 50%; height: 22px;">$4,739,117</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 22px;">Dai</td><td style="width: 50%; height: 22px;">$2,247,258</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 22px;">Flow</td><td style="width: 50%; height: 22px;">$1,407,000</td></tr></tbody></table>The platform saw people donate more than 70 cryptos as more options were added throughout the year. For instance, meme token shiba inu was introduced in November and a month later was already the fourth-most donated crypto.For the year, the total donation volume soared 1,558% compared to the previous year to $69.6 million. The average crypto donation size stood at $10,455, a 236% jump from 2020. The platform attributed the increased giving to three factors: the crypto market's bull run performance, which resulted in the appreciation of many crypto assets; the diversity of assets donated, which reflected the evolution of the digital asset ecosystem; and the deadline to be eligible for the tax benefits of donating crypto.Nonprofits also became more open to accepting digital assets. The Giving Block said more than 1,000 organizations were accepting cryptos by the end of 2021. "Many nonprofits have looked to cryptocurrency as the next logical step in fundraising innovation," the report said. "For several organizations, crypto philanthropy addresses the more specific challenge of creating sustained, meaningful engagement with younger donors, and taps into a powerful tax incentive to donate."Non-fungible token projects also donated $12.3 million in 2021, emerging as a major force in charitable crypto giving. One gift was valued at $3.5 million at the time of the donation, the report said.Founded in 2018, The Giving Block is an organization that aims to promote crypto philanthropy. The platform currently enables more than 1,000 organizations, charities, universities, and faith-based organizations of all sizes to accept crypto donations.
