Crypto Firms Target the Global Sports Industry

Crypto firms have increasingly targeted the multi-billion-dollar global sports industry to introduce digital assets to millions of fans worldwide. The exodus of betting sponsors, particularly among European football clubs, has created an opportunity for crypto businesses to expand their reach and attract new user bases.

Crypto partnerships are not limited to football institutions. Racing franchises have also been a hotbed for digital asset partnerships. For instance, Coinbase recently sealed a Formula 1 sponsorship deal with Aston Martin, funded with Circle’s stablecoin USDC.
