“Fans can be connected to their favourite celebrities in a much more intimate level.”Despite the fact that cryptocurrencies have had a bit of a negative run this year, and even the most popular ones have taken a hit, Owen has not been put off by investing in the market, even at a time when tighter regulations are being applied to the cryptocurrency world, particularly across Asia. The end of last year saw a completely different story for cryptocurrencies, with hundreds of cryptocurrencies seeing huge rises. The most popular cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was worth almost $20,000 per Bitcoin. This is sadly not the case now though, and the value has more than halved and dropped to below $9,000. Owen spoke about Bitcoin, saying;
“When the price of Bitcoin reached a new high last year, I knew it was a clear trajectory to cryptocurrency as a global phenomenon.”Like we previously mentioned, Michael Owen is not the first former sportsman to branch into the world of crypto. Boxer, Manny Pacquiao is set to release a cryptocurrency on the same exchange, and fellow boxer, Floyd Mayweather also has plans to release one, reports suggest.
