Which Celebrities Publicly Support Cryptocurrency? A Few Surprises

As more celebrities enter and profit off cryptocurrency and NFTs, many of them fly under the radar and surprisingly become the biggest supporters of future developments. More than simply investing in the space, we're seeing celebrities announce their support towards crypto.

Whether or not endorsed or paid to shill, here are a few celebrities who publicly back cryptocurrency.

German native and former Victoria Secret model Gisele Bündchen, alongside her NFL superstar husband Tom Brady, has partnered with a cryptocurrency exchange, FTX. While there hasn't been a confirmation on the number of shares the couple has received, Bündchen is allegedly an adviser for environmentally conscious efforts along with social initiatives, according to Reuters.

While the media tends to focus on Brady, there is no denying that Bündchen will play a substantial role in this partnership.

Bündchen will also play an integral role in promoting diversity and inclusivity within the cryptocurrency sector.

The award-winning rap artist turned U.S. presidential hopeful, Kanye West, had quite a few things to say about crypto. As a guest on Joe Rogan's podcast, West spoke about the spirit of what he suggests are crypto natives as "geniuses" who "have a perspective" on the "true liberation of America and humanity."

Kanye also hinted at the nature of decentralization of cryptocurrency. He said that "the powers of our political system are still anchoring on the electoral college, which was based around slavery."

While West hasn't disclosed whether or not he owns any cryptocurrency, his basic notion on the matter suggests that he wouldn't completely dismiss the thought either.

CEO, actress, and entrepreneur, Reese Witherspoon, hasn't only publicly announced her holdings of Ethereum (ETH). However, she made it known that she was a proud owner of an NFT from the "World of Women" Collection by switching her profile picture to the NFT. Actively engaging in crypto Twitter (CT), Witherspoon also walks the walk.

Recently, Witherspoon tweeted a confirmation of her attendance at the largest NFT event in North America, NFT.NYC, with the media company, Hello Sunshine, with the aim to highlight and showcase female artists.

Not long after Witherspoon announced her Ethereum purchase, other crypto-supporting celebrities started to comment. American media personality and socialite, Paris Hilton, quickly showed her support of Bitcoin

Mobile cryptocurrency platform, Crypto.com just announced the launch of a global ad campaign featuring its latest talent—Matt Damon. As its first marketing campaign, Crypto.com centers its theme on timeless words in history "Fortune Favors the Brave."

The announcement comes at the heels of Crypto.com's partnership with the global nonprofit organization, Water.org, to bring safe water and sanitation to people in need that was co-founded by Damon.

A match made in heaven, Damon said, “Much like what we’re doing with Water.org, Crypto.com is a cryptocurrency platform that shares my commitment to empowering people around the globe with the tools needed to take control of their futures.”

As the growth of cryptocurrency and blockchain continues, more Hollywood stars will likely endorse the mission.
