The fundraise was aided by Tokenpay who had matched any donation beyond 50000 XVG to the address. This initiative was taken up post the 50 million XVG mark. It was done to speed up the donation process. They also claimed to have donated 66.5 million XVG to the token sale.
We contributed 66,500,000 $XVG to the #VERGE fundraising so we can reach the goal. #VergeFam and #TokenPay are strong partners and we look forward to announcing many $TPAY integrations with @vergecurrency. Special thanks to @binance, @cz_binance & @Teddy_Lin for amazing support.

Token Pay seems to be a partner of Verge. And if they have donated 66.5 million XVG to the ’cause’. Why was there such a hyped up crowd sale in the first place ? The Verge team could have just raised the money from the partners. It seems like a way of hyping up the partnership by getting the community involved.
Verge is one of the most buzzing coins in the space right now. The upcoming announcement would be hugely awaited by the Verge community. But it can be prove to be a double edged sword if the announcement doesnt meet expectations. Also, questions are raised about the need for a fundraise to facilitate a partnership.
