In a bold move to diversify funding amid global crises, Médecins du Monde has partnered with French fintech Lyzi to accept cryptocurrency donations. This initiative aims to attract a new generation of donors while ensuring funds are immediately converted to euros for real-world impact—including their long-standing programs in Palestine. Here’s how it works and why it matters.

Why Is Médecins du Monde Turning to Crypto?

Facing a historic funding crunch, NGOs are exploring innovative solutions. Médecins du Monde’s November 21, 2025, announcement highlights crypto as a tool to "redefine generosity." The process is simple: donors select an asset (like ethereum or Solana), scan a QR code via their wallet, and funds are instantly routed to the NGO’s euro account—bypassing lengthy forms. Notably, only Proof-of-Stake coins are accepted, aligning with the organization’s environmental ethics.

Lyzi: The Bridge Between Crypto and Humanitarian Aid

Powering this effort is Lyzi, a fintech already integrated into over 1 million retail points. Its technology auto-converts crypto to euros, ensuring Médecins du Monde avoids volatility risks. "We’re not speculators; we’re caregivers," emphasizes the NGO. The partnership leverages Lyzi’s compliance-ready infrastructure, with donations funneled through its blockchain ledger before hitting the NGO’s bank account.

Crypto Philanthropy Goes Mainstream

Crypto donations are no longer niche. From hospitals to global charities, entities like The Giving Block have processed $6 million for clean water initiatives (as of August 2025). Médecins du Monde’s MOVE reflects a broader trend: blockchain’s potential for transparent, borderless aid—especially critical in regions like Gaza and the West Bank, where traditional banking faces hurdles.

How to Donate in 3 Clicks

1. Visit Médecins du Monde’s crypto portal.
2. Pick your asset (ETH, SOL, etc.).
3. Scan the QR code via MetaMask, Ledger, or exchange apps.
Lyzi handles the euro conversion; the NGO receives stable funding. For crypto holders, this is a seamless way to support medical crises worldwide.

The Bigger Picture: Crypto for Social Impact

Beyond donations, the pilot underscores crypto’s role in humanitarian logistics. Imagine aid reaching war zones faster via stablecoins or DAOs streamlining supply chains. While skeptics remain, Médecins du Monde’s bet on PoS coins sets a precedent for eco-conscious crypto adoption.
