- Mike Tyson announces his support for Solana on Twitter.
- He will expand his NFT involvement through the Solana network.
- Developers and contributors are increasingly choosing Solana over Ethereum for NFTs.
Former boxing heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has recently twitted his support for Solana, one of the leading altcoins and blockchain networks in the crypto space. In the Twitter post, he also posted a Catalina Whale non-fungible token (NFT) of himself. The Catalina Whale Mixer is a non-fungible token collection issued on the Solana blockchain.
“Iron Mike” isn’t new in the NFT space. Tyson has been invested in NFT and crypto for quite some time now. He is a big advocate for digital collectables and the growing potential of the altcoin market. Last year, he partnered with creative firm 1ofOne to release the official Mike Tyson NFTs on OpenSea.
His involvement with crypto dates back almost 5 years ago when the legendary boxer partnered with BTC Direct, a popular Bitcion wallet. Tyson also engages his follower community for crypto-related advice and decisions. Just months ago, he asked his Twitter followers whether he should choose the Ethereum or Solana network for NFTs.
As it turned out, the former champ is going with Solana. Last year, he also asked his 5M+ followers to help him choose between Bitcion (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) for a potential investment.
