🦃 Happy Thanksgiving everyone !!

Today is great opportunity to be thankful for being alive, having the energy to move forward, and a reminder that being grateful on a daily basis can brings us more prosperity, positivity and well being.

🏈 Who is taking over the Sports industry?

Today is also huge for the Sports industry. They have they opportunity to broadcast games to millions of fans who are at home with their loved ones.

We have been witnessing a radical shift this year in this industry, which is the exponential increase in sponsorships by crypto companies.

The personality of sports fans, especially those who like to gamble, has become very attractive to cryptocurrency companies.

Among sports fans, 47% say they are familiar with cryptocurrencies and 27% say they have crypto in their investment portfolio.

According to a survey by cnbc.com, twice as many men invest in cryptocurrencies. The gender gap exceeds the existing gap within traditional investments, including stocks, ETFs, mutual funds and real estate.

In another more pronounced statistic, 80% of bettors have bought cryptocurrencies and are immersing themselves in the world of “Crypto-Trading”.

FTX, one of the largest cryptocurrency platforms, has invested $210 million for the naming rights of the TSM team, an “e-sports” team. They paid $135 million for the naming rights of the Miami NBA Basketball Arena and also signed a multi-million dollar contract with the MLB in order to stamp their logo on the umpires shirt.

FTX did not stop there, it continued its conquest by investing $20 million for airtime during NFL games and has bought at least one Super Bowl spot with a $6 million price tag.

Tom Brady, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, is the face of the FTX NFL campaign and also an investor in the company.

Crypto.com, another cryptocurrency exchange, paid $ 700 million for the naming rights of the famous ex-Staples Center, stadium where the Lakers, Clippers, Sparks, and the Los Angeles Kings play. They are also sponsoring the Philadelphia and Portland NBA teams, an investment that cost them around $400 million.

Additionally, we are seeing the crypto.com logo on UFC apparel.

And to not be left behind, Coinbase signed an exclusive contract with the NBA, WNBA, and their minor leagues to place their name on NBA stadiums and on the basquet’s base.
