A team war in the ecosystem
Although this association is the first approach of the crypto exchange OKX with the world of sports advertising, it is worth mentioning that It is not the first crypto exchange that sports teams are being used as a marketing catapult.
It is that, a large number of crypto firms are massively entering the world of sports. For example, we have the case of Crypto.com, perhaps the crypto exchange that invests the most in advertising within the sports world, as a sponsor of F1, owner of the name of a stadium in the United States and more.
On the other hand we have Binance in the African Cup, with Lazio, and the Argentine National Team. As well as these crypto exchanges, other firms have done it with teams, for example the other team from the city of Manchester, United, with Tezos, the various Socios Fan Tokens, and more.
This is why it was not surprising that OKX, a crypto exchange with more than 20 million users in 180 different countries, joined this competition.
But also, it is worth mentioning that choosing between crypto exchanges and platforms in the world of cryptocurrencies is not very different from choosing a sports team. Normally passions and fanaticism dominate conversations about the differences, pros and cons of a firm vs. the other.
And with the incursion of crypto exchanges into the sports world, when two teams face each other, so will the brands that accompany them. Ready for the increase in competition in the world of cryptocurrencies?
