The war in Ukraine has the nation selling a CryptoPunk non-fungible token for 90 ETH to raise cash to fund the proceeds.
Ukraine deputy minister Alex Bornyakov tweeted about selling CryptoPunk #5364 NFT (non-fungible token) for 90 ETH to support ongoing war efforts. The deal saw the nation raising over $100,000.
