The interest in cryptocurrencies is growing rapidly and more celebrities are being drawn towards the allure of cryptocurrencies.

More and more famous people are getting into cryptocurrencies. Most recently, Ellen DeGeneres tried to explain what Bitcoin is, during an episode of her world-famous TV-show.

“Pretend like bitcoin is a goat. Now it’s adorable… and you want to pick it up and you want to pet it. But you can’t because it’s not there, it doesn’t exist except for on that Internet right there, just like bitcoin is digital currency.”

Ellen is not the only one who is interested in cryptocurrencies, there are plenty of celebrities who are investing in crypto, accepting crypto as a payment option or operating as an advisor.

Here are some of the most notable celebrity endorsements:
