According to the official statement, Crypto.com’s collaboration with UEFA will feature in-stadium activations, broadcast integrations, and unique advertising campaigns.

Crypto.com’s latest move also signifies its commitment to establishing a strong presence in sports by leveraging its global reach. Steven Kalifowitz, Crypto.com’s Chief Marketing Officer, emphasized that the UEFA Champions League’s global appeal aligns perfectly with the company’s mission to make cryptocurrency accessible to a broader audience.

“Connecting our brand with engaged sports fans around the world has effectively grown our user base to over 100 million in pursuit of our mission of cryptocurrency in every wallet,” Kalifowitz stated.

This partnership is the latest in a series of high-profile sports sponsorships for Crypto.com. BeInCrypto reported the company became the exclusive crypto sponsor of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in March 2022. Additionally, it has been a key partner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) since 2021.

Between 2021 and 2022, crypto firms accelerated their sponsorships of sporting leagues and teams. This trend, however, faced setbacks when the crypto exchange FTX, which had invested over $300 million in sports marketing deals, collapsed. Furthermore, the prolonged bear market exacerbated the challenges, slowing the momentum of crypto sponsorships in sports.

Despite these challenges, the crypto industry is bouncing back, with companies like Crypto.com leading the way. Their strategic partnership with UEFA demonstrates a renewed commitment to engaging with global audiences through high-profile sports events.

Similarly, eToro has significantly increased its presence in European football sponsorships between 2023 and 2024, distinguishing itself as one of the few crypto firms to grow its sports marketing efforts during this period. According to SponsorUnited, while over 70% of other crypto brands saw stagnation or decline in their sponsorship deals, eToro’s success exemplifies a broader industry trend of leveraging sports partnerships to solidify brand presence.

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you thinkSpot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.
