The new NFTs are on the NFT marketplace Basic.Space. One of which is up for raffle while the another is currently worth $200,000 after being won in a raffle. A portion of the sales of these NFTs is donated to Athletes For Hope to aid mental health awareness and support.

The tennis star revealed her new investment interest in an interview with Bloomberg where she said that hype around Dogecoin was partially responsible for turning her attention to the cryptocurrency space.

“I was actually just talking with my agent about cryptocurrencies. I know that online, everything is getting bigger. I remember reading about Dogecoin … there’s going to be something new and interesting that’s going to pop up,” said Osaka.

The 23-year-old tennis player has already invested in a number of businesses, including the salad chain Sweetgreen and the professional women’s soccer team North Carolina Courage.
