Yuri MolchanPolymarket sends $50,000 to kids' cancer charity after losing bet
As reported by U.Today, on Monday, Polymarket sent the donation to the charity handpicked by Hoskinson. The organization is called Magic Yarn, located in Alaska.
It produces tender wigs made of acrylic yarn that children undergoing chemotherapy wear rather than ordinary wigs that can be too harsh for their scalps. Hoskinson chose this charity project, saying that it has got "a really good heart."
Whether he will choose the same charity for the donation from MATIC's Sandeep Nailwal or pick a different one was not mentioned in Hoskinson's tweet.
