Regarding donations to Ukraine, the total value of donations to Ukraine has been around $900M so far [1], of which only $7M has been in crypto (according to your WSJ article), so less than 1%.

Vitalik alone donated $5M. https://fortune.com/2022/04/08/vitalik-buterin-ukraine-donat...

This page says $60M has been donated to one specific organization https://donate.thedigital.gov.ua/

Here's another one that says they've collected $9M https://unchain.fund/

I'm sure there are others.
