A few days ago it was Reese Witherspoon and now, Golden State Warriors (Very popular US basketball team) point guard, Steph Curry has officially entered the crypto-verse.

Yesterday, the NBA superstar tweeted “Just getting started in the crypto game…y’all got any advice?” and last month, made his first crypto purchase when he bought a Bored Ape NFT, a popular collection released by Bored Ape Yacht Club that is using tokenization to not only sell their artwork but to also offer exclusive membership to a private club of collectors.

Interestingly, Curry’s team is already involved in crypto. The Golden State Warriors franchise launched its own collectibles this spring that commemorated the team’s NBA championships and other memorable moments.

This quote from their Chief Revenue Officer indicates that this is just the beginning of the franchise’s involvement in the crypto space:

“The digital collectibles excitement is palpable. We see NFTs and digitization of our business as a mainstay to engage our fans around the world”

Warrior Chief Revenue Officer, Brandon Schneider

Paris Hilton is another celebrity that’s been known to support the NFT space and speak frequently on it. Here’s a short video of her explaining NFTs to Jimmy Fallon

Crypto continues to not only find its way into mainstream culture but also disrupt old, well-guarded industries, paving the way for a more open and inclusive future.
