Nobody in the WNBA can put the ball in the basket quite like Jewell Loyd, whose 939 points scored for the Seattle Storm this past year set the league’s single-season scoring record. That surpassed Diana Taurasi’s previous record of 860 points scored in 2006.

Off the court, Loyd has become the face of crypto-savvy athlete investors for Coinbase, which has been the exclusive cryptocurrency partner of the NBA and WNBA since 2021.

The 30-year-old Chicagoland native bought her first Bitcoin in 2013 while playing collegiately at Notre Dame. Loyd and her brother, former pro basketball player Jarryd Loyd, entered the crypto market together after growing up with parents who stressed the importance of financial literacy.

“I was one of the first people to come out and publicly say I’m investing in crypto and taking some of my salary in that,” Loyd told Decrypt. “Right after that, any team we played always had one person who came up to me like ‘Yo, why’d you do this? What is this?’”
