Crypto and Sports Merge

Over the past few years, crypto firms and global brands, including those in sports, have forged key relationships. Mainly, it’s been around investments aimed at marketing crypto services and products. However, a few partnerships have faced challenges amid major market events.

For this particular partnership, Kraken aims to bring together the world of sports and Web3. The goal is to unlock further opportunities in innovation and fan engagement for football lovers and Kraken’s crypto clients.

“We’re proud to partner with such a distinguished football club, which equally recognizes that success requires a meticulous focus on its own processes. We’ve put in nearly 13 years to become one of the most trusted crypto platforms and we look forward to collaborating with Atlético de Madrid to educate more people about the true potential and value of crypto,” said Mayur Gupta, Kraken’s chief marketing officer.

Atlético de Madrid’s COO Óscar Mayo commended the partnership, noting the two companies share values for innovation and technology. Kraken is the partner to help the football giant reach its objectives in this regard.

“We are sure that this partnership will ensure that our fans enjoy a digital experience which extends beyond matchdays at the stadium,” Mayo added.

Kraken also has a partnership with Williams Racing Formula 1, a deal the companies announced in 2023.
