UK-based esports organisation Fnatic has announced a new deal with cryptocurrency platform Crypto.com. The five-year agreement is reportedly worth US$15 million.

As part of the deal, Crypto.com will become Fnatic’s first-ever global cryptocurrency partner. Crypto.com will also have its logo featured on Fnatic’s jerseys and offer the fans a chance to purchase various rewards. An exclusive Fnatic NFT is also scheduled to be launched soon.

Crypto.com has also announced that it will be working with the members of the Fnatic esports team and will collaborate with them to create gaming content, branded gaming experiences and offline events. Fnatic is set to also help its fans understand the cryptocurrency world better and will work with Crypto.com to educate those new to the cryptocurrency world.

 

Speaking about the deal, Sam Mathews, Fnatic Chief Executive, said:

“This partnership sees global leaders in esports and cryptocurrency join forces for a ground-breaking, long-term partnership. Fnatic boasts one of the most connected, involved and supportive fan bases in the world and this landmark deal with Crypto.com allows us to further cater to their everyday needs. As cryptocurrency becomes a mainstream payment method, there’s never been a better time to help our fans make smarter, healthier and future-proof cryptocurrency decisions.”

 

Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and Chief Executive, Crypto.com, added:

“We’re really excited to launch a fully integrated partnership with Fnatic, which marks a milestone for our industry. With more than 200 championships, their team has excelled in-game and out and rightfully established itself as the leading team in esports.”

 

The deal comes as another impressive addition to the Crypto.com résumé after it had recently signed up with French football club Paris Saint-German and Formula One.

The 10 most expensive NFTs

The 10 most expensive sports NFTs of all time

Sports enthusiasts, get your digital wallets out if you’ve been on the internet recently. Today we’ll be discussing some of the most expensive sports NFTs in history. An NFT is a non-interchangeable unit of data stored on the blockchain but differs from a cryptocurrency, which is fungible and interchangeable. It is a form of digital ledger that can be sold and traded with a buyer. An NFT can be associated with a particular digital or physical asset including but not limited to, arts, songs, sports highlights and other types of digital files. It uses blockchain technology to provide verifiable proof of the item the NFT is associated with. However, just like purchasing a limited-edition signed and numbered print of a photograph does not transfer copyright ownership of the photograph to the purchaser, purchasing an NFT does not necessarily confer any of the intellectual property (i.e. copyright) in the subject matter of the NFT. The underlying intellectual property right may be transferred by a smart contract associated with the NFT, but caution should be exercised here to make sure that no conflict exists between what is in the smart contract and what is in the terms of the website or platform on which the NFT is created or purchased. So without any further ado, let’s dive into it and take a look at the 10 most expensive sports NFTs of all time.

In today’s fast-paced world where everything is getting digitised and mass marketing campaigns are a common trend, it is hard to read the newspaper, browse the internet, or watch TV without the words “blockchain”, “cryptocurrency” and “NFT” flashing in front of your eyes. I’d assume you’ve already seen multiple ads and TV commercials where famous athletes and actors would be telling you to buy cryptocurrencies or NFTs, or seen stories on the news about people buying crypto and NFTs for increasingly mind-blowing sums of money. Today, even most of our favourite brands and companies have NFT offerings to offer in exchange for exclusive benefits. But what do these terms mean, and how do these technologies work? The rate at which these technologies are evolving makes it almost impossible to predict how the state of the market will be next week or next month in comparison to today.
