In an unprecedented move that has sent shockwaves through both the sports and financial worlds, Los Angeles Lakers’ power forward Jarred Vanderbilt has become the talk of the town — and not just for his game on the court.

Upon signing a surprise $112 million deal with the Golden State Warriors, Vanderbilt stunned fans and analysts alike by donating his entire $28 million signing bonus to none other than… “BlockHope DAO” — a decentralized crypto charity initiative aimed at building tech-based infrastructure in underserved communities around the world.

The announcement was made during a press conference at the Great Crypto Arena Stadium, where Vanderbilt appeared in a custom Warriors jersey with the words “FOR THE FUTURE” emblazoned across the back.

“I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to play basketball at the highest level,” Vanderbilt said. “But if Web3 and blockchain are truly about decentralizing power and empowering the people, then it’s time athletes walk the walk. This donation isn’t just charity — it’s an investment in a better world.”

BlockHope DAO, formed in late 2024, focuses on deploying blockchain-based solutions like smart contract education, mobile crypto banking, and decentralized internet access in parts of Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. Vanderbilt, a long-time advocate for tech inclusion, reportedly became involved with the project after attending a crypto and impact investing summit earlier this year.

The crypto world reacted instantly — Ethereum’s price jumped 6%, and BlockHope DAO’s governance token, $HOPE, surged by 300% within hours of the announcement.

Meanwhile, the NBA community is reeling from the news. Warriors coach Steve Kerr called the move “inspiring, and exactly the kind of leadership this generation needs,” while Lakers fans took to social media to express a mix of heartbreak and pride.

LeBron James tweeted:
“Big ups to my brother @JVando – you just changed the game off the court. Respect.”

The Warriors’ first home game next week against the Clippers is now being billed as “The $28 Million Game”, with proceeds from ticket sales also pledged to the BlockHope initiative.
