“Kalush Orchestra and Serhiy Prytula have just sold the crystal microphone of Eurovision-2022 for $ 900,000 at a charity auction!”
The cup was won by the WhiteBIT crypto exchange, which made the largest crypto bet.
“We are grateful to everyone who donated funds for this auction, and especially grateful to the WhiteBIT team, who redeemed the cup for $900,000. From now on, they become its copyright holders,” Kalush Orchestra said.
In addition to the microphone, the auction included a pink Panama hat, in which Oleg Psyuk performed on the Eurovision stage in Turin. To participate in the drawing of panama, it was necessary to donate at least 200 UAH to the fund’s account. The winner of the competition was chosen at random. Since the beginning of the announcement of the competition, more than UAH 10 million have been collected on the account.
