A basketball player from the University of California, Los Angeles, Jaylen Clark, became the first athlete of this sport in the minor leagues to create his own cryptocurrency.
The token was named $ JROCK. Its announcement took place almost live on YouTube and Instagram. Then about 80 thousand people immediately found out about him, who were subscribed to the athlete. Admirers of his basketball talent will be the first to have the opportunity to purchase such a valuable product for them through the Rally partner platform. At the time of this writing, the asset was worth 16 cents. In addition to the token, fans will receive a priority opportunity to purchase merchandise and tickets for the match of the possible future NBA star. In his interview, Clarke stated:
"I am often called the black Elon Musk. It's cool to be the first to do something unusual. After what I have done, in years to come, I will look back and say: I remember this day, the day it all began."
Nick McMillan, VP of the affiliate company, took a step further and added:
"Being the owner of the $ JROCK token is like holding a ticket to Jalen's fan club. It's not just a token that can be traded."
Jaylen Clarke is an ardent supporter of cryptocurrencies. Dogecoin plays a special role in his portfolio. And he monitors other assets when he is on the move between games, and this happens often. He also jokingly discusses with his gaming friends that they should buy with their earned funds from contracts. Clarke revealed that he bought a lot of Dogecoin when it was worth about 1 cent. And he sold it for 60 cents, right before the steep dive began. According to him, after the sale of Dogecoin, he had 10 thousand dollars in his hands.
Having his own cryptocurrency, Clarke says, will allow him to connect with fans on a different, deeper level.
"Now everyone has the opportunity to watch my game and chat. It is enough just to look at one of the social networks, and then win or buy a token, and thanks to him, I will become closer to you."
