Crypto.com Inks Multi-Year Deal With LeBron James and His Education-Focused Nonprofit

On Friday, the digital currency exchange Crypto.com announced the company has inked a multi-year partnership with LeBron James and the LeBron James Family Foundation (LJFF). The crypto trading platform notes that the partnership will bolster things like “educational empowerment,” providing access to tools that help build “Web3, and the future of the internet.”


LeBron James: ‘Blockchain Technology Is Revolutionizing the World’


A number of digital asset firms have been working closely with celebrities and famous athletes in order to raise brand awareness. Crypto.com has been one of those companies as it has worked with the actor Matt Damon, it recently partnered with LA’s Angel City Football Club, and the exchange acquired the naming rights to the Los Angeles Lakers’ Staples Center and renamed it to Crypto.com Arena.


Crypto.com Inks Multi-Year Deal With LeBron James and His Education-Focused Nonprofit


On January 28, the digital currency firm revealed it has signed a multi-year with the basketball star LeBron James and his charitable organization the LeBron James Family Foundation (LJFF). The main focus will be “educational empowerment,” the Crypto.com announcement explains. The popular American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers noted that blockchain tech is transforming society.


“Blockchain technology is revolutionizing our economy, sports and entertainment, the art world, and how we engage with one another. I want to ensure that communities like the one I come from are not left behind,” James said in a statement. “Crypto.com and I are aligned on the need to educate and support my community with the information and tools they need for inclusion. I’m looking forward to working with them to bring these opportunities to my community.”


Crypto.com is not the only crypto firm focused on getting attention by leveraging sports legends and celebrities. FTX has honed in on sports and celebrities by acquiring the naming rights to the Miami Heat’s arena in Florida, and collaborating with seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady and his supermodel wife Gisele Bündchen. A few other crypto firms have made these types of partnerships as well, like the digital asset manager Grayscale Investments, when it partnered with the New York Giants.

In the announcement with LJFF and LeBron James, Crypto.com says it plans to showcase the benefits of cryptocurrency where things are “fair and equitable and the potential rewards of the technology are owned by builders, creators and users alike.” Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com says that LJFF’s goals align with this vision.


“LeBron James and his foundation have been pioneers in truly transforming the lives of those in his community through education and our partnership is based on a true alignment of values,” said Kris Marszalek, the co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com. “We couldn’t be more proud to join LJFF in providing opportunities to increase educational and workforce development while delivering the tools and access that will empower the next generation to build a better and more inclusive future.”

https://motleybloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/a-jacobin-podcast-review-critiques-on-crypto-and-sterlins-response.jpg The following opinion editorial is a Jacobin Podcast review written by the author Sterlin Lujan , the chief risk officer with Cryptospace. The Jacobin Podcast episode called: “ Dig: Cryptocurrency w/ Edward Ongweso Jr & Jacob Silverman, ” touches upon “cryptocurrency, NFTs, Elon Musk, the metaverse, meme stocks, and techno-utopianism amid the crushing reality of our neoliberal hellscape.” Cryptocurrency isn’t fringe technology anymore. Over the last decade, it has become embedded into finance, culture, and even our social life. It’s drastically changing the way we think about money, economics, and human action. However, some people, primarily on the left, are skeptical of cryptocurrency. Many of them hate it, regardless of how much of a godsend it has been for many. My friend, thought leader, author, and psychedelic visionary, Daniel Pinchbeck, pointed out a

P2P Bitcoin Traders in Nigeria Think Outside the Box in the Wake of CBN Restrictions

After the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a directive targeting the country’s cryptocurrency industry, bitcoin and altcoin trade volumes on centralized exchanges immediately plunged. Nevertheless, the new regulations seem to have succeeded in boosting crypto trade volumes on informal markets or on peer-to-peer trading platforms. Nigerian Crypto Traders Get Creative Still, the increasing trades on informal platforms have also led to increased reports of users losing money to con artists. Moreover, with the CBN seemingly eager to see volumes of crypto trades plummet, Nigerian users had to find ingenious but legal ways of getting around the central bank’s imposed restrictions. As shown in one local report , one such legal way is through an app created by one local crypto start-up, Patricia. According to the report, this application is already enabling Nigerian users to buy or sell their crypto assets securely and without running afoul of CBN regulations. Therefore, in this report, we relis
