Recently, Ohtani became the new face of one of the fastest-growing brands in the crypto world. Yes! The reigning American League MVP is the new global brand ambassador of FTX. And if reports are true, then he has also become the stakeholder of the crypto company.

Over the last couple of years, Ohtani has dominated baseball from both ends. Whether it is from the mound or the plate, Ohtani has been rock solid for the LA Angels. The Japanese slugger is a generational talent. He has been nothing but a blessing to the game of baseball. And when talking about his brand endorsements, Ohtani is in a league of his own.

“He’s obviously one of the most electric players in all of sports right now. We are hoping to have a similarly revolutionary impact on what Fintech means and what personal finance apps look like,” Bankman-Fried said on Ohtani.
