With the signing of Messi, PSG will likely be one of the most-watched teams in the 2021-2022 season, which could bring additional brand awareness for Crypto.com.

“Between the brand visibility, stadium and team access and collaborative development of NFTs, I have no doubt that we’ll create new and exciting experiences for football fans around the world,” Crypto.com co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek said.

Crypto.com has over 10 million users worldwide and is one of the top 10 finance apps on the iOS App Store for Apple Inc AAPL and Google Play, a unit of Alphabet Inc GOOGGOOGL.

The deal with PSG adds to a number of partnerships in the sports industry that Crypto.com has signed. The company has deals with Formula 1, Serie A, UFC and the National Hockey League.
