NBA star Stephen Curry files trademark to build Curryverse

NBA star, Stephen Curry has filed for a metaverse  trademark according to an update from the Global Brand Database. GBD is a database that deals with global trademarks. Curry made the request on October 26, 2022 but has not been approved.

The Curryverse is a metaverse where users and fans around the world can earn NFTs related to the NBA star. If granted the trademark, Curry will be able to offer exclusive “entertainment services, namely, personal and virtual; entertainment, sporting and cultural activities; educational and entertainment services; athletic training and coaching services” and more, according to GBD.

Stephen Curry will also have the permission to offer services related to computer game software, footwear, charity, business management services, software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS). In essence, fans in the Curryverse will have access to a lot of virtual and live services which can be traded with other users in the metaverse.

Curry and the crypto world

The NBA star has been involved in the crypto space since 2021 where he purchased a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT for $206,000. Earlier this year, LinksDAO, a DAO that’s investing in golf by using NFTs, and other blockchain-based assets, announced the investment made by Curry.

Reports show that Curry’s investment in LinksDAO includes the purchase of “Leisure Membership” and “LinksDAO Global Membership” NFTs for 0.29 ETH and 1.12 ETH, respectively. And this pushed the price of the Leisure Membership NFT upward to 0.72 ETH and the Global Membership NFT to 2 ETH. 

In another deal, Curry became an ambassador of the FTX exchange in March 2022.
