Caitlyn Jenner to Launch Fractionalized Olympic Gold Medal Token
Olympic gold medalist and reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner is set to launch a unique cryptocurrency project.
According to a social media post, Jenner will release the MEDAL token, representing a fractional share of her Olympic gold medal’s value, on the Ethereum layer-2 Base network starting August 8th.
“Well, I have been in this space for almost a year now, and I’m constantly looking at new ways that I can help improve this space,” said Jenner.
“And here we have a real-world asset that is part of the Olympics and part of history.”
Though inspired by the gold medal, owning the MEDAL token does not grant ownership of the physical medal, which remains in Jenner’s possession.

“There’s never been an NFT of a gold medal digitally put out there for you to get involved with,” said Jenner. “It’s part of history.”
Jenner also announced her participation as a speaker at the Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Nashville, following the recent Bitcoin Conference 2024 in the same city.
BTC Inc., the conference organizer, revealed on July 30th that the next event will be held in Las Vegas.
“Las Vegas has experienced an incredible transformation over the last few years, establishing itself as a hub for entrepreneurship, technological innovation, and economic growth,” said BTC Inc. CEO David Bailey.
Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo added, “The decision to move this historic event to Las Vegas not only highlights our state’s burgeoning position as a major financial and technological hub, but also our passion for welcoming innovators to our state.”
