13.1 What is Crypto-philanthropy?

“Crypto-philanthropy” is poised for further growth and will exist alongside traditional philanthropy in 2022 and beyond. With the tremendous amount of wealth being created in digital assets and the increasing prevalence of this asset class, we believe crypto-philanthropy is a logical next step.
