Kyrgios mentioned in a tweet about his collaboration with Royaltiz, the company that claims to be the first talent’s stock market. His tweet read – “Big news! I?m joining @royaltiz_off – it?s the first talent?s stock market. My IPO will be on 04/07/23, just in time for the grass season. Don?t forget to create your account and invest in my career”

Royaltiz, the company behind this innovative platform, wants to change how fans interact with their favorite athletes. This deal with Kyrgios is a big deal because he’s the first popular tennis player to try fan investment. Royaltiz offers a unique platform where fans can invest in their favorite talents. If Kyrgios does well and his value goes up, fans can make money from their investments.

There are different opinions on this concept. Some people are skeptical and worry about treating athletes as commodities. The potential impact on the integrity of sports due to financial interests is also a worrying factor. However, others view it as a courageous move towards making the sports industry more inclusive. Royaltiz’s approach enables fans to be part of an athlete’s financial journey, creating new avenues for revenue and opening doors for athletes and their supporters.
