Kraken said the two companies plan to merge the worlds of sports and web3, as they seek to unlock great opportunities for both Atletico Madrid fans and the crypto exchange company’s clients.
Commenting on the announcement, Kraken Chief Marketing Officer Mayur Gupta said the two companies will use this opportunity to transform lives.
“We’re proud to partner with such a distinguished football club, which equally recognises that success requires a meticulous focus on its own processes. We’ve put in nearly 13 years to become one of the most trusted crypto platforms and we look forward to collaborating with Atlético de Madrid to educate more people about the true potential and value of crypto.”
Atlético de Madrid Chief Revenue and Operating Officer Óscar Mayo echoed those remarks highlighting the common values that the two organisations share including innovation and technology. “We are sure that this partnership will ensure that our fans enjoy a digital experience which extends beyond matchdays at the stadium.”
This is not Kraken’s first collaboration with a sports team. Last August, the crypto exchange company teamed up with Formula 1 racing team Williams Racing to launch a campaign that allowed fans to vote on the NFTs they wanted displayed on F1 cars in the US Grand Prix that took place in October.
On the other hand, Atletico has been active in the world of fan tokens having collaborated with Socios.com to issue the Atletico de Madrid Fan Token (ATM).
