    The promotion suggests that the spate of celebrity endorsements for cryptocurrency-related projects isn't slowing down anytime soon. As previously reported, celebrities such as boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr., socialite Paris Hilton and rap artist The Game have promoted upcoming or now-completed token sales.

    To date, more than $1.8 billion has been raised through the funding model, according to data from CoinDesk's ICO Tracker.
