Serena Williams, the 23-time grand slam champion who always vocally advocated for social cause and women’s empowerment, has decided to enter into Venture Capital to further the cause. Although Serena Ventures was launched in 2014, it is only through a recent Instagram post that the star has announced the venture.

The official site shows that she has a market capitalization of $12 billion in her portfolio. The investment into Coinbase comes at a time when the company is looking to expand internationally, mainly Japan and other markets such as in Latin America or Asia.
