Leap of Faith: Auction to Benefit Children's Cancer Research Attracts Major Crypto Artists

Prominent crypto influencer Leap is using his platform to raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through cryptocurrency donations and NFT sales. Leap has been unsatisfied with the shallow nature of the crypto space and was inspired to make a difference after his father was diagnosed with cancer. He initially raised over $100,000 for St. Jude in just 24 hours and was invited to visit the hospital, solidifying his commitment to using crypto for good. Leap has spent over $200,000 of his own money to create a company that fuses art, technology, and philanthropy to bring transparency and innovation to charitable giving. The initiative kicked off with an art auction at Art Basel featuring works from prominent digital artists and NFT creators, with proceeds going to St. Jude. Leap believes that art is at the heart and soul of crypto and sees the potential for the industry to drive meaningful change if harnessed correctly.
