The famous bull of Crypto.com

Crypto.comis now known for its commercials featuring famous people outside the industry. The series of commercials is called “Fortune Favors The Brave”(fortune favors the bold).

This partnership with the singer comes after the first partnership of Crypto.com with Matt Damon in October 2021. Here, the commercial with Damon aimed to compare the “victories” in various competitions with the “victories” of human evolution, of which cryptocurrencies would be a part.
