Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance, has also expressed his sympathy through a tweet today morning. The tweet also announced his company\u2019s decision to donate $1 million equivalent in BNB, BTC or JPY.<\/p>\n<p>Zhao has also requested good hearts in the crypto industry to come forward and make a contribution to those who are in need. According to the Express report, torrential rains have caused total devastation leading to the death of at least 69 people in the western Japanese city of Kurashiki. More than 1,850 are believed to be stranded. Evacuation orders remained for about 2 million people and another 2.3 million were asked to evacuate, although rain had stopped and floodwaters retreated in certain areas.<\/p>\n<p>Japan&#8217;s government has set up an emergency management centre at the prime minister&#8217;s office and nearly 54,000 rescuers from the police, military and fire departments have been sent to various places in southwestern and western Japan. Authorities have stated that it could be the worst weather disaster in decades. Zhao has stated that developers who are donating to the flood victims will be provided a waiver in listing fees. The CEO has also provided option to send anonymous donations. Rest can send donation to the Ether address provided in the tweet.<br \/>\n<center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Our hearts go out to the victims in West Japan. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/binance?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@binance<\/a> will begin with a $1,000,000 USD equivalent donation in either BNB, BTC, or JPY.
