The premier campaign is entitled “New Best Friend” and features Gronk playing at home with a Shiba Inu - the breed of dog associated with dogecoin and shiba inu coin. Gronk posted a preview on Twitter of him doing push-ups with the dog on his back.

The campaigns will continue in the coming months and include a livestream event and a non-fungible token (NFT) drop to benefit Gronk Nation Youth Foundation.
Gronk has ventured into crypto previously, launching a series of non-fungible tokens (NFT) commemorating some of his most famous plays from his four Super Bowl wins.
In his new ambassadorial role with Voyager, Gronk is following the suit of teammate Tom Brady, who became a part owner and ambassador of crypto derivatives exchange FTX in June. A month earlier, Brady revealed that he had “definitely” invested in crypto in an interview with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried as part of CoinDesk event Consensus 2021.
Having retired from the game in 2019, Gronk returned to football a year later, following Brady from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for whom they combined to help win Super Bowl LV in February this year.

Stablecoin Adoption Is ‘Exploding' — Here's Why Wall Street Is Going All-In
Alchemy co-founder and president Joe Lau said stablecoin adoption is exploding as banks, fintechs and payment platforms push beyond the USDT/USDC exchange era.
What to know:
- Stablecoin usage is quickly broadening from crypto-native exchanges into payments, payroll and treasury as companies chase 24/7, digital-native settlement, according to Alchemy Co-founder and President Joe Lau.
- Banks are pushing tokenized deposits as a regulated, bank-native alternative that delivers stablecoin-like benefits for institutional clients.
- The endgame is a two-track system — stablecoins for open, two-party settlement; deposit tokens for bank ecosystems, until scale forces convergence and competition, Lau said.
