Kraken announced on July 16 that it is partnering with Tottenham Hotspur football club.
This makes Kraken the first official crypto and Web3 partner and the sleeve sponsor for both the men’s and women’s teams.
The goal of this partnership is to enhance the fan experience and educate fans about cryptocurrency. Mayur Gupta, Kraken’s chief marketing officer, explained that crypto is gaining traction in the UK. This collaboration aims to support Kraken’s mission of promoting global crypto adoption and financial freedom.
Ryan Norys, Tottenham Hotspur’s chief revenue officer, highlighted the club’s aim to drive innovation through this partnership, praising Kraken as a leader in the field. Both parties are excited to engage fans with new events and experiences.
Additionally, Kraken’s co-founder Jesse Powell recently donated $1 million in Ether to Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, citing Trump’s supportive stance on crypto. Despite a recent assassination attempt, Trump plans to speak at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville.
The football industry is increasingly embracing crypto, with Cristiano Ronaldo launching a new NFT collection with Binance in May, celebrating his career highlights. This trend reflects a growing effort among football clubs to boost fan interaction through digital assets.
The final days of July could bring critical developments that reshape investor sentiment and influence the next leg of the crypto market’s trend.
Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of crypto exchange Gemini, has accused JPMorgan of retaliating against the platform by freezing its effort to restore banking services.
Renowned author and financial educator Robert Kiyosaki has issued a word of caution to everyday investors relying too heavily on exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The classic four-year crypto market cycle—long driven by Bitcoin halvings and boom-bust investor behavior—is losing relevance, according to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan.
