It’s 10 PM Pacific time and the date is April 13th, 2022. And welcome back to the Crypto Overnighter. I am your host, Nick. The cover model for this podcast is Tex and together we take a nightly look at the crypto, nft and metaverse space and the industry that surrounds it. We’re here to bring you the crypto news analysis you need to start your day.  And keep in mind, nothing in this show should ever be considered financial advice. 

Crypto payment company Moonpay held a star-studded series a funding round. They raised $87 million from their a-list celebrities. Seems like a lot. More than 60 investors from entertainment, music and sports all kicked in. Names like Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton, of course, but other names like Bruce Willis and Maria Sharapova.

Now if you put that 87 million with the 555 million they raised at the end of last year and you end up with a valuation at something like $3.4 billion.

I’ve used it. A lot of people have. Moonpay does make it easy for me to buy some crypto on a credit card. Pretty much my only use case for it is at OpenSea. 

Now think on that a minute. And think about all the celebrities like Snoop and Paris onboarding people to the world of NFTs. 

Gwyneth Paltrow is one of the investors. She said quote

Web3 is inspiring the entertainment industry, and commerce in general, to reimagine the way we create community, connect with fans, build value and manage intellectual property.
