While he's not an outspoken advocate for cryptocurrency, Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, known online as "PewDiePie," has been increasingly been getting involved in the space, often through sponsorships.
This much was made clear just recently when he briefly mentioned Ethereum in a YouTube video that has been watched nearly four million times as of this article's writing.
In a video published on Nov. 11 called "Things we all have done," Kjellberg mentioned Ethereum, recognizing the cryptocurrency's logo as part of a meme about second choices.
He did not comment on Ethereum or cryptocurrency beyond recognizing its logo.
This isn't the first time he has mentioned cryptocurrency in a video.
With a following of 106 million on YouTube alone and millions more across his other social media platforms, it is no surprise that there are crypto companies looking to leverage his clout to spread the word about a cryptocurrency or blockchain platform.
He took part in a promotional video for a cryptocurrency project, shilling something called SGamePro in a one-minute advertisement.
