Odell Beckham Jr is an enthusiast of cryptocurrency. On Monday he tweeted he has joined forces with Cash App and will take 100% of his new NFL contract in Bitcoin. In the video he tweeted to make the announcement, Beckham said, “It’s the start of a new era, and I’m looking forward to the future,” he adds, “That’s why I’m taking my new salary in Bitcoin, thanks to Cash App.”

OBJ will give $1 million worth of Bitcoin to his fans on Twitter as a thank you. 

 

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.
