Ivorian Football Star Didier Drogba is the Latest Cryptocurrency Endorser

Another athlete has joined the long list of celebrities who are endorsing cryptocurrencies.

Former Ivory Coast legend Didier Drogba has joined the long list of celebrities and athletes who have endorsed digital currencies.

Drogba told RT in Moscow, “It is a project in which I believe a lot.” The athlete was wearing an all.me t-shirt during the interview to stress his endorsement. Drogba is also sharing his picture using the company’s t-shirt as part of the endorsement deal.

The platform was founded by Armenian businessman Artak Tovmasyan, who claims to have raised more than $30 million when the website was launched. Tovmasyan plans on conducting an initial coin offering (ICO) in the fourth quarter of this year, the report added.

Tovmasyan came up with the all.me concept in 2015. The digital platform has a hard cap of $100 million.

Several athletes and celebrities have been attracted in the crypto craze. Last May, Colombian football star James Rodriguez, who currently plays for the German club Bayern Munich, announced the launch of his own cryptocurrency, called JR10 Token, in a bid to create a stronger fan base. Rodriguez signed a deal with blockchain-focused startup SelfSell for technical assistance in creating the token.

Earlier this year, Philippine boxing legend and Senator Manny Pacquiao launched his own digital money called PAC Coin in partnership with Singaporean startup Global Crypto Offering Exchange (GCOX).

The boxer-turned-politician, who is also the only eight-time world boxing champion, is the first investor into GCOX, a digital currency exchange platform which also allows celebrities to create their own tokens.
