Cash App allows its users to invest in the stock market, send and receive money. It allows them to buy and sell Bitcoin. This is where OBJ will get his new paychecks.
Crypto is taking over the NFL
Earlier this month, Aaron Rodgers, the star quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, announced his partnership with the Cash App. But the difference between his deal and Odell Beckham Jr’s deal is that Rodgers will only receive a part of his salary in Bitcoin. Except for the sum, he will take his salary from the Packers in cash.
“I’m excited about the future of cryptocurrency, and am a big believer in Bitcoin. So much so that I’ve chosen to take a large portion of my salary in Bitcoin, thanks to the help of Cash App,” said Rodgers, who believes that Bitcoin is the future.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers star and NFL legend Tom Brady has also recently announced that he has always purchased a stake in the cryptocurrency trading platform, FTX.
Several other NFL players are also taking a portion of their salaries in Bitcoin. Players such as New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley. Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Laurance and many others.
