Coinbase To Donate Crypto Wealth To Charity
Coinbase, through its CEO Brian Armstrong, has just joined other mega-wealth individuals in donating a great portion of his net-worth to charitable and other causes.

Armstrong announced via Twitter that he just signed the pledge, hoping it would help make the world a better place. He added that he is still early in his journey towards philanthropy, as well as the impact it brings.

Through its platforms, wealthy people can donate to more than half of their net-worth during their lifetime or, if possible, in their will.
