Why It’s Important: The English Premier League is one of the largest soccer leagues in the world and contains some of the most valuable teams worldwide.
The filings from the English Premier League come as other soccer leagues have seen teams launch their own digital tokens and also signed deals with Sorare, a leading NFT digital trading card with fantasy sports elements.
Sorare recently signed a deal with Major League Soccer in the U.S. and has been rumored to have been circling the English Premier League for years.
The National Basketball Association, National Football League and La Liga all have deals in place with Dapper Labs for NFTs featuring in-game moment videos.
The filing could signal that the English Premier League intends to enter into broad league-based crypto and NFT initiatives, instead of having teams make their own decisions.
