There’s so much happening in the crypto world it can be hard to keep up. This newsletter is designed for athletes interested in crypto - we’re going to drop bite-sized updates of what’s going on in crypto every week, with a special emphasis on the sports-crypto world. Welcome to The Huddle!

🚨 Weekly Highlights 🚨

Ad Of The Day: Coinbase Breaks Internet With QR Code Super Bowl Stunt | The  Drum
Coinbase Super Bowl Commercial 2022

Crypto firms have big advertising budgets for 2022, especially in sports

Yall saw the Coinbase ad with the moving QR code this Super Bowl. It actually brought so much site traffic to Coinbase that the website went down! And Coinbase isn’t the only one that’s put huge bank into paid advertising: eToro, crypto.com, and FTX are a few other notable exchanges that have made their mark in sports through advertising. Crypto.com is even confirmed to be the FIFA World Cup sponsor in Qatar later this year. All said and done, 2022 is going to be a big year for crypto advertising in sports, keep a lookout.

More and more athletes want to be paid in crypto

Maybe you know about Odell Beckham Jr. electing to take his $750,000 salary for the 21-22 season in Bitcoin. Well, Bitcoin hit a rough patch early 2022 and his salary only became worth $413,000 (and only $35,000 after taxes). But that hasn’t deterred other athletes at all - Brazilian MMA Fighter Matheus Nicolau recently opted to receive all his fight earnings in Bitcoin to protect against declining currencies and inflation. It’s a strong sign that trust in crypto isn’t going away.

TIME Releases First-Ever Full Magazine Issue as an NFT | Time

Vitlaik Buterin Makes it to the cover of TIME Magazine

In case you don’t know who Vitalik is, he’s one of the founders and the mastermind behind Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin. He’s a visionary who wants crypto to become more than a way to flaunt lambos and digital pictures of monkeys. Vitalik highlights the $15 million donated to the Ukraine wallet as an example of what crypto could and should be used for. As a result, TIME called him the “Prince of Crypto”. Twitter called him some other stuff though… (it’s actually pretty funny and Tom Brady even responded too, thanking Vitalik for his contributions).
