BrittanyYou’ve heard about Bitcoin. Maybe you’ve even heard of NFTs. But did you know that some of your favourite celebrities are not just talking about crypto—they’re investing, launching projects, and building in the Web3 space? From actors to athletes, here are 10 surprising celebs who are riding the crypto wave.
1. Gwyneth Paltrow
The wellness mogul and Oscar-winning actress is more than just Goop. Gwyneth joined Bitcoin wallet Abra as an advisor in 2017 and has been quietly supporting the space ever since. She’s also promoted educational crypto content to help beginners get started.
2. Maisie Williams
The Game of Thrones star isn’t afraid to get nerdy. In 2020, she ran a Twitter poll asking fans if she should buy Bitcoin—and then bought some anyway, despite the majority saying “no.” A true Stark move.
3. Mike Tyson
The former heavyweight boxing champ has thrown his weight behind crypto. Tyson released NFT collections on OpenSea and even partnered with Solana-based projects. He’s also been seen tweeting about Bitcoin and Ethereum since early 2016.
4. Reese Witherspoon
Yes, Elle Woods is Web3-savvy. Witherspoon’s production company, Hello Sunshine, partnered with World of Women NFTs to promote female-led storytelling in crypto. She’s a vocal advocate for women entering the space.
5. Lindsay Lohan
From Mean Girls to minting NFTs, Lohan has embraced crypto culture. She released music NFTs and digital art on Ethereum, and even auctioned a “Fursona” on Canine Cartel—an NFT project where users get digital dog avatars.
6. Ashton Kutcher
Kutcher has long been a tech investor, and crypto is no exception. Through his firm Sound Ventures, he’s invested in companies like BitPay. He also co-founded NFT platform Sound.xyz, which empowers musicians to sell directly to fans.
7. Tom Brady
The GOAT of American football launched Autograph, an NFT platform for digital sports memorabilia. Brady is also an investor in FTX (before its collapse), proving even crypto champs can fumble now and then.
8. Paris Hilton
Before the mainstream caught on, Paris was already in the metaverse. She’s created and sold NFTs, appeared on Web3 panels, and bought virtual land in platforms like The Sandbox. Crypto Queen? Maybe.
9. Terry Crews
The Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor and former NFL player launched his own social currency called $POWER. His goal? To support creators and build community-driven economics through blockchain.
10. Eva Longoria
The actress and entrepreneur is an advocate for NFTs that support artists of colour and women in tech. She’s partnered with projects that focus on social impact through crypto, and she’s spoken out about the need for representation in Web3.
