Los Angeles Rams safety Taylor Rapp is launching an NFT and plans to donate the proceeds to fight racism against the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities that has spiked across the United States.
Per Jabari Young of CNBC.com, Rapp is going to auction off a total of 90 NFTs to raise funds to combat the rise in hate crimes against Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders.
“I am Asian American, and this community means a lot to me,” Rapp told Young. “I wanted to help my people, and what better way to raise money right now to donate than through creating an NFT collection and using my platform.
