The partnership, which was recently announced and shared by FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried on Twitter, will see Brady and Bündchen both taking an equity stake in FTX Trading Limited. Both will also be receiving crypto in the partnership.
Brady will be serving the exchange as an ambassador, while his wife will be taking the role of FTX’s Environmental and Social Initiatives Advisor. Both will be committing to a multi-million dollar annual charitable contribution during the partnership.
Brady commented on the partnership, saying “It’s an incredibly exciting time in the crypto-world and Sam and the revolutionary FTX team continue to open my eyes to the endless possibilities.” The NFL legend added that crypto education is important, while also giving back to communities and the planet, “We have the chance to create something really special here, and I can’t wait to see what we’re able to do together” he added.
Crypto and charity to benefit from partnership
Bündchen also commented on the news, “It was fascinating getting to know more about the crypto universe! Cryptocurrency will become more and more familiar to all of us as time goes on. What attracted me most about this partnership was the potential to apply resources to help regenerate the Earth, and enable people to lead better lives, therefore generating real transformation in our society. Sam and I are both enthusiasts who share a belief that we are on this earth for a greater reason, and that we all have a role in safeguarding our planet. I look forward to working with the FTX team to create a positive impact in our world!”
