Compton Magic, a premier Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) basketball program known for its ability to develop star athletes in the NBA and collegiate circuit, has partnered with Swan NewsCapsule to launch the first NewsCapsule-Basketball program, according to a press release covered by Yahoo.
“The sovereign athlete is the future of basketball, and NewsCapsule is the future of money,” said CEO of Compton Magic, Etop Udo-Ema. “We’re bringing the two together to create the first NewsCapsule Basketball Program, a program that aligns itself with NewsCapsule’s principles of respecting time, long-term thinking, and sustainability.”
NewsCapsule will be gifted to the players utilizing Swan’s gifting solution that allows users to send gifts to another user’s email, and once that user has created a Swan account they are eligible to accept the gift.

Swan will direct deposit a set amount of bitcoin each month into the Swan account created by the employee automatically, continuing to push the boundaries of ease and accessibility in the bitcoin ecosystem.
“The early interest in our new NewsCapsule Benefit Plan is overwhelmingly positive,” said Klippsten. “It’s an easy way for employers to share the future of money with their teams, along with Swan’s incomparable service, world-class education, and our vibrant community, too.”
