According to U.Today, Dubai-based Baseball United has selected Solana-based meme cryptocurrency Bonk (BONK) as its official presenting partner for the 2024-2025 events. The professional baseball league has previously hosted two showcase games last November. Its first professional season is anticipated to commence in October 2025, featuring teams such as Arabia Wolves and Mid East Falcons, among other Baseball United franchises. These franchises consist of some of the best professional players from around the world. Despite the new partnership, BONK is currently experiencing a decline in its trading value. According to CoinGecko data, the price of BONK has dropped by 4.9% over the past 24 hours, with the meme cryptocurrency currently valued at $1.27 billion. The intersection of cryptocurrency and baseball is not unprecedented. In June 2021, NFT company Candy Digital, co-founded by cryptocurrency tycoon Mike Novogratz, entered into a partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB). Later that year, Perth Heat, Australia's most prominent baseball team, allowed its players to receive payments in Bitcoin.
