OKX Opens Airdrop for Venezuelan Earthquake Victims
OKX, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges by volume, has taken action to help Venezuelan users affected by the twin earthquakes that left over 2,000 dead and hundreds of buildings collapsed.
On social media, using its Latam account, OKX referred to the twin earthquakes that hit Venezuela on June 24, 2026, and how the cryptocurrency community has responded to this event in one of the Latam countries with growing crypto adoption.
“We know that these days have been difficult. But we have also seen something extraordinary: the solidarity of Venezuela and the entire international community, which fills us with hope,” it declared.
To help Venezuelan users in regions hit by the natural disaster, OKX announced it will distribute 20 USDT to each user with proof of address (POA) verifying they reside in La Guaira, the state most affected by the twin earthquakes.
While OKX did not disclose the total funds available for this initiative, it pointed out that support was limited and would be distributed on a “first-come, first-served” basis.
The funds will be automatically credited to the accounts that fulfill the POA requirement. “No registration, claim code, or qualifying transaction is required; the 20 USDT reward is automatically credited once eligibility is confirmed,” the exchange explained.
“We know that the road ahead will require effort, help, and support from everyone for a long time. But you will not walk it alone. We are one region, and we will be with you on this journey. We stand with you, Venezuela.” OKX concluded.
OKX’s relief efforts follow a similar campaign by Binance. The most popular exchange in Venezuela pledged $3 million to users residing in La Guaira, Distrito Capital, Miranda, Aragua, Carabobo, Falcón, and Yaracuy, offering a similar path for users to reclaim 20 USDT via redeemable vouchers.
