I remember seeing an intending purchase of a player with crypto, seeing the adoption of crypto so far in sports, maybe this will be an easier mode of transaction.
But on a second thought, i really don’t like the sports space to become decentralized in such a way that isn’t traceable. I think the centralized environment for the athletes space is helping with reducing risk of fraud and corruption.
Just imagine the transfer of $1,000,000,000 for the use of a racing stadium gets hacked or sent to the wrong wallet address…
But even at that, I’m not a 100% out with the opinion that it should not have a collaboration with the crypto and web3 companies and platforms.
I see the MotoGP collaboration with some CEX platforms and I guess this partnership might bring more initiatives to the two spaces. Though I doubt this can go further after here?
What are you doubting? They've been high profile collab between Cex and sports platform over players over the years. Binance has Ronaldo, THE GOAT 😎, Bitget has Messi, and I see they made a new partnership with MotoGP for selected grand prix event in 2025
