Game developer 11Bit Games has raised $850,000 for the Ukraine Red Cross, in just 9 days. It raised the cash purely through sales of its game This War Of Mine, an anti-war title all about surviving conflict. We hear from Pawel Miechowski who called the fundraiser a ‘phenomenon’. 

Plus, a crypto compliance firm has suggested sanctioned Russian oligarchs have been using crypto to protect their funds. Elliptic said it is actively investigating crypto-asset wallets believed to be linked to sanctioned Russian officials and oligarchs.
