Crypto philanthropy hit $100M+ in 2025, a 66% YoY jump. Stablecoins led giving as Ripple’s RLUSD ranked #2, per The Giving Block’s 2026 Annual Report.

Crypto philanthropy just crossed a threshold nobody fully expected this soon. The Giving Block processed over $100 million in cryptocurrency donations in 2025. That marks a 66% jump from the year before.

The 2026 Annual Report on Crypto Philanthropy and Digital Fundraising Innovation, published by The Giving Block on X, puts the milestone into sharp relief. Since the platform launched in 2018, total crypto donations have now passed $300 million. The 2025 figure alone accounts for a third of that entire history.

Stablecoins Are Now Writing the Checks

The average gift size in 2025 reached $11,019. That far outpaces what traditional online giving typically sees. The report notes that crypto is no longer experimental money for nonprofits. It is becoming a primary source of major gifts.

Stablecoins drove much of that shift. Ripple shared on X that its stablecoin RLUSD ranked as the second most-donated digital asset across the entire platform in 2025. XRP placed seventh overall. The company also highlighted its partnerships with DonorsChoose and Teach For America as featured examples inside the report.

Ripple’s post credited the moment directly: stablecoins and crypto are reshaping how the world gives.

The Wealth Transfer Nobody Is Talking About

The Giving Block’s report frames 2025 as a warning shot for nonprofits still operating on outdated tools. An estimated $20 trillion dollars will be donated over the next 20 years as wealth passes from older generations to Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. Most charitable organizations, the report argues, are not positioned to capture any of it.

Online stock donations and donor-advised fund processing doubled year-over-year in 2025. That signal matters. Digital giving methods, once treated as niche, are becoming standard infrastructure.

RLUSD’s Rise Was Not Accidental

Ripple’s stablecoin performance in philanthropy data tracks with what the company has been building. RLUSD is already settled on the XRP Ledger, and Ripple has spent recent months expanding its institutional reach through new partnerships and exchange integrations.

The giving data reflects a donor base that is moving faster than the nonprofits receiving the money. The Giving Block’s full 2026 annual report is available at thegivingblock.com/annual-report.

Crypto philanthropy hit 100 million dollars in a single year. The asset doing the heaviest lifting was not Bitcoin. That part deserves attention.

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

The post Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering to expand its SOL holdings. The company’s stock (FORD) fell 8.2% following the announcement, while the proceeds could more than double the $3.1 billion currently held in Solana treasuries. DeFi Development Corp. also registered a preferred stock offering with the SEC, following similar funding tactics used by Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy. Forward Industries, the newest and largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering. For the sake of comparison, this $4 billion raise is nearly the same size as Bitcoin treasury Strategy’s Stride preferred stock raise in July. And it’s double the size of the Strife preferred stock offering the company did in May. The proceeds would be used for working capital; pursuit of its Solana token strategy, and “the purchase of income-generating assets to grow its business,” the company said in a press release. Forward Industries declined to comment to Decrypt on what other income-generating assets it’s considering adding to its balance sheet.  As markets opened Wednesday morning, Forward saw its stock price take a dive. The shares, which trade under the FORD ticker on the Nasdaq, dipped to $31.29 before rebounding to $34.28 at the time of writing—marking a 8.2% fall for the session. If the company sells all the shares and spends the bulk of the proceeds on buying Solana, it could more than double the amount of SOL being held in treasuries. At the time of writing, there’s already $3.1 billion in Solana treasuries, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko. Users on Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company DASTAN, have been growing more confident that SOL will reach $250 sooner than…
