According to Forbes, Serena Williams has joined the $4.3 billion blockchain-based company as a board advisor. Their main goal in appointing Serena was to push their market in North America as the tennis player is really famous in the USA. The company is based in France and has many licensed IPs, including La Liga, Bundesliga, and many more.
