Why it matters: Brady is one of the most popular players in the NFL and adds to the Bored Ape Yacht Club’s roster of NFT owner celebrities and athletes.
Brady is no stranger to cryptocurrency and the NFT space as he is a spokesperson and investor in FTX and was also the founder of Autographan NFT company that has partnered with ProjectKings Inc DKNG on several sports-related NFTs.
On Monday, Brady was announced as an investor in the SPAC deal to bring hypebeast audience with Iron Spark I ISAA.
Brady also launched the Brand Brady in December as a new clothing company.
It’s unclear if Brady will feature the Ape on his NFL cleats like Colts safety Andrew Sendejo did for a game last year.

ApeCoin APE/USD is down 1% at $11.85 on Tuesday.
