NBA star LeBron James connects with Crypto.com to teach kids about digital assets

The deal sees the cryptocurrency platform partnering with the star basketball player’s LeBron James Family Foundation

NBA superstar LeBron James has teamed up with Crypto.com to help kids learn about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

The deal sees the cryptocurrency platform partnering with the star basketball player’s LeBron James Family Foundation, which started the I Promise School for at-risk children in Akron, Ohio, in 2018. In addition to educating the students about crypto, the program also aims to give them and their families greater access to job opportunities and career paths within the blockchain technology sphere, such as learning about Web 3 — which enthusiasts refer to as the next generation of Internet.
