Crypto-asset broker Voyager Digital is educating professional athletes about cryptocurrency, which is seen as one of today's most effective tools for building wealth. As the official cryptocurrency partner for the inaugural Players Symposium held in Las Vegas this week, Voyager is addressing 100 NFL players.
With at least some of the professional athletes getting involved in digital assets in trading or some even receiving their player fee in cryptocurrencies, having better knowledge about the asset is essential for them to be equipped with the best resources to make financial decisions.
The Players Symposium is created for professional athletes to enhance their financial education by exploring wealth-building strategies across various industries, including finance, crypto, real estate and more.
Voyager CEO Steve Ehrlich presented at the symposium with NASCAR Driver Landon Cassill. Voyager partnered with Cassill in June to sponsor him and his race car, paid fully in cryptocurrencies, for the 2021 Xfinity Series.
Cassill has been investing in crypto for many years and brings his expertise to the symposium as both a professional athlete and a longtime investor in cryptocurrency.
Voyager's deal is claimed to be the first primary sponsorship of a NASCAR race car paid fully in a portfolio of cryptocurrency led by Litecoin (LTC) and the Voyager Token (VGX). Cassill will be racing the #4 car customized with a full Voyager-branded car wrap.
Voyager said it continues to demonstrate crypto's multiple use cases, from being a valuable and efficient form of payment, to an investment asset class fueling a new technology revolution.
