They are a brand that is growing fast, and that two of three Indians bought their first bitcoin on ZebPay shows that they are very popular. We’re looking forward to seeing this association grow over the course of the season.”

Avinash Shekhar, Co-CEO, ZebPay, added:

“This partnership with Bengaluru FC enables us to educate sports enthusiasts of the world about the value of crypto. India’s affinity to football has been steadily rising in the past few years, and we are hoping to educate and create awareness about crypto amongst Indian sports enthusiasts. We extend our best wishes to members of Bengaluru FC and will be cheering for the team from the sidelines while bringing crypto to the mainstream.”
