SOFTSWISS and CoinsPaid Donate $50k to Support Turkey
SOFTSWISS, an innovative tech company providing solutions for iGaming, and CoinsPaid, a crypto payment processing provider, have donated USD 50,000 to deliver aid to the people affected by the recent disaster in Turkey. The donation was made to help survivors rebuild their lives and get access to basic necessities.
Nurullah Yildiz, a SOFTSWISS representative, who visited the earthquake-affected territory in Turkey, notes: “When we were in the disaster area, we saw towns lying in ruins. It was devastating. We contacted the survivors to find out what they needed most and how we could help.”
The SOFTSWISS and CoinsPaid teams procured container houses and got them transferred to the survivors. They also helped people, especially families in urgent need and those who have disabled children or lost their relatives, get food and clean water.
Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, says: “We have the opportunity to support people in need. It is terrible what happened in Turkey and what is happening in Ukraine. People shouldn’t face this, but life always shows us that nobody is protected here, so we chose to help those who need it.”
SOFTSWISS participates in several campaigns and initiatives all over the world to support people going through tough times. Since the start of the massive Russian invasion in Ukraine, SOFTSWISS has been actively helping Ukrainian people, having donated over 1 million euro so far. The support for Turkey is a continuation of the ongoing commitment to this cause.

Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, will moderate a panel at The Blockchain show on 29th June, bringing together experts from entertainment, location-based gaming, and content localisation to examine what it takes to build sustainable gaming ecosystems across emerging markets.
The panel, titled “Global Gaming Expansion: Lessons from Untapped Markets,” will structure its discussion across four themes: the growth dynamics reshaping emerging gaming markets; the role of localisation in creating experiences that genuinely connect with new audiences; the infrastructure and communities needed to build gaming ecosystems beyond the game itself; and the lessons and opportunities that will define successful expansion in the years ahead.
Alona Shevtsova plans to frame the discussion around the central challenge for companies looking to expand globally: entering a new market requires far more than bringing an existing product to a new audience. Understanding local cultures, building communities, adapting experiences, and creating ecosystems that allow gaming to grow sustainably are all as important as the product itself.
Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, said:
“The future growth of gaming will come not only from new technologies, but from understanding people — their cultures, communities, and the experiences they want to be part of. Successful expansion will belong to those who can combine global ambition with local understanding.”
The first segment will examine why regions including the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia are becoming increasingly significant for developers, operators, and investors — driven by young audiences, accelerating digital adoption, and new entertainment models creating substantial growth potential. Panellists will explore how consumer preferences differ across markets and what trends among younger audiences are shaping the future of gaming and entertainment.
The third segment will broaden the lens beyond the game itself, exploring the role of location-based entertainment, gaming centres, esports, and experiential destinations in attracting new audiences and building long-term communities. Panellists plan to address how entertainment ecosystems — spanning physical venues, events, and community infrastructure — accelerate gaming adoption in markets where the category is still establishing itself.
Earlier this month, Alona Shevtsova was shortlisted for the 2026 Great British Entrepreneur Awards in the Established Business of the Year category. Her team is also preparing for the Fintech Connect conference in London later this year. Sends will be a leading sponsor of this event.
