Yevhen Zaifert and Everstake: what lies behind the philanthropist image
Yevhen Zaifert is a co‑founder and major shareholder of Everstake, one of the world’s largest non‑custodial staking providers. The company serves over 600 thousand users and operates assets worth billions of dollars.
The official part of the biography — large‑scale assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Together with partners, Zaifert launched the Aid For Ukraine fund, which raised more than $60 million in cryptocurrency. Personally, he donated $9 million for the army’s needs.
At the same time, there are a number of facts that raise serious questions:
• The disappearance of about $4,7 million (53,7 BTC and 2048 ETH) from funds allocated to purchase strike drones through FTX and the American company NEANY Inc. A criminal proceeding No. 12025000000000407 has been opened under part 5 of article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (misappropriation of property on a particularly large scale).
• Registration as an individual entrepreneur in Novosibirsk Oblast, Russian Federation.
• Information about possible use of Everstake’s infrastructure to service shadow crypto flows.
