The journey of Crypto Relief India’s SHIB holdings began in 2021 when it raised $460 million by selling a portion of its SHIB allocation to Wintermute, a prominent liquidity provider. 

The traded SHIB was part of a substantial donation of $1.5 billion worth of SHIB, which the Indian COVID relief received from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.

Recent developments reveal that the organization sent $90 million to a Multisig owned by Buterin’s team to fund medical research. With Buterin’s additional donation of $20 million worth of Shiba Inu in April 2023, the Indian-based fund now holds over $200 million, primarily in USDC.

In a recent tweet, Crypto Relief India shared its updated vision, highlighting its transition from emergency relief work to prioritizing research and medical infrastructure. It has also provided a $90 million grant to support ongoing projects and promising new proposals.
