Today, only bitcoin is exchanged, bitcoin Swan, welcomed NBA champion Matthew Dellavedova to its team as vice president of business development, according to a press release sent to bitcoin Magazine. Dellavedova is best known for his illustrious professional basketball career and his NBA accomplishments, including a 2016 NBA championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers and an Olympic bronze with the Australian national team in 2020.
Dellavedova, who has been actively involved in startup investment and advisory roles since 2017, is now turning her attention to the bitcoin industry. “I am excited to join Swan to help spread adoption, especially in sports and in Australia where I still play professional basketball,” Ella Dellavedova said. “It has already been great fun learning from Swan experts and I look forward to educating athletes, in particular, about the benefits of bitcoin.”
His recent commitment to the Saint Mary’s men’s basketball team, his alma mater, demonstrated his dedication to introducing bitcoin to athletes, especially in light of recent changes to the Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) rules that introduce new opportunities for college athletes.
One of the key aspects Dellavedova focuses on is how bitcoin can help young athletes save for their future. Given bitcoin‘s inherent properties that prevent degradation, it is considered a reliable asset for long-term value preservation and appreciation.
“Matt is a smart entrepreneur and investor. He’s obviously a disciplined and incredibly hard worker,” said Swan Founder and CEO Cory Klippsten. “But the main reason we brought Delly onto the Swan team is his dedication to spreading bitcoin adoption and the audience he can reach outside of the bitcoin industry.”
Matthew Dellavedova’s transition from the basketball court to the bitcoin realm exemplifies the growing interest and potential of bitcoin in various industries, with notable figures using their influence to promote its adoption and benefits.
