We're thrilled to share that we’ve named Nyjah Huston as our official Team Ambassador for the inaugural MoonPay X Games League (XGL) Summer Season!
Widely regarded as the greatest Skateboard Street competitor of all time, Nyjah enters his 20th year at X Games with 15 gold medals overall, a 2024 Olympic bronze medal, and the record for most Skateboard gold medals. As a MoonPay XGL Founder Athlete, he's also had a direct hand in shaping the league's competition formats, athlete experience, and fan-first culture.
"In street skating, if you're not pushing the boundaries, you're falling behind. It's all about progression. I look at crypto the same way – it's the future, and it's moving fast. MoonPay is leading the way with this transformation, and I'm excited to join them as Team Ambassador," said Nyjah Huston.
This announcement builds on MoonPay's three-year, category-exclusive title partnership with X Games — the first league title partnership in X Games history. The MoonPay XGL, announced in January 2026, establishes a permanent, team-based competition structure across skateboarding, BMX, snowboarding, and freeskiing, with a focus on bolstering athlete salaries, team ownership opportunities, and season-long rivalries.
“Builders recognize builders. Nyjah has spent his whole career doing what people said couldn’t be done. So have we. The MoonPay X Games League is what happens when you put those two things together. And we’re just getting started," said Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO and Founder of MoonPay.
The MoonPay XGL Summer Season kicks off June 26 in Sacramento, California. For more details on the league, teams, and athletes, visit xgames.com/xgl.
