Will 2024 be the year crypto roars back into sports with a vengeance, or will smaller exchanges choose to remain on the sidelines? The cryptocurrency market has seen a turbulent two years globally, with #bitcoin crashing from its all-time high of $69,000 to below $20,000 in 2022. At the same time, many sporting partnerships came to a bitter end for some of the world's top sports teams, including Ferrari, Chelsea Football Club and Juventus Football Club. However, visionary sponsors like OKX (Man City & McLaren) and Crypto.com (FIFA & Formula 1) have remained steadfast, cementing their brand dominance through the bear market. Now, with bullish sentiment surging (Bitcoin is up 160% YTD) and the competition for market share intensifying, smaller exchanges are poised to join the fray, flooding the sports landscape with #crypto sponsorships in a battle for #brandawareness and #marketdominance. I personally believe that 2024 will be a spectacular year for sports and crypto, and I'm excited to see what #partnerships unfold. #sportsbusiness #middleeast #sportssponsorship
