Crypto sports sponsorships are steadily increasing
Following a hiatus after the FTX crash in 2022, crypto firms are steadily increasing their marketing efforts. Football, thanks to its global appeal, dominated crypto sponsorships in the 2024/25 season, securing 43% of the funds. Formula 1 and basketball followed, with 28% and 18% of the sponsorships, respectively.
Examples of these partnerships include Bitpanda’s deal with Tottenham Hotspur, as well as Crypto.com’s partnership with UEFA. Notably, Crypto.com became UEFA’s first crypto partner of the Champions League, one of the most-watched football events in the world. The partnerships help crypto exchanges gain exposure to a wider audience while supporting major sports organizations.
