Stephen Curry, NBA (National Basketball Association) legend, has recently announced his partnership with FTX — as the crypto exchange’s global ambassador.
His newfound role as FTX’s global ambassador will net him an equity stake in FTX.com. Moreover, Curry’s Eat.Learn.Play foundation will be partnering with the crypto exchange for charitable initiatives. FTX will be making charitable contributions to the foundation on a yearly basis. The NBA star player commented that FTX shares similar sentiment when it comes to “giving back to the community in meaningful ways.”
After meeting and speaking with Stephen, it was clear that he is a seamless fit for FTX. His tireless commitment to charity alongside a ferocious work ethic to become the greatest in any arena he steps foot in, whether it is basketball, investing or business, perfectly align with FTX’s core values. I look forward to working together with Stephen to create a positive impact for those who need it most in the world.

Curry expressed his excitement regarding the partnership that he formed with a company that demystifies Bitcoin and the crypto space, as well as making the crypto space all the more welcoming for newcomers.
The reveal of Curry’s partnership with FTX came shortly after he tweeted “Just getting started in the crypto game…y’all got any advice??” — a sign that this is Curry’s first venture into the Bitcoin world.
