Crypto.com signs new agreement with F1
On its Twitter account, cryptocurrency platform Crypto.com (CRO) announced the signing of a new agreement with F1.
From now on and for a period of 9 years, the exchange will hold the naming rights of the brand new F1 race: the Miami Grand Prix.
With this agreement, the race will be officially named “Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix”. In addition, the Crypto.com logo will appear on the podium and the winners’ trophies.
In addition, a Fan Zone will be set up in the center of Hard Rock Stadium and will feature various entertainment and activities throughout the weekend.
The race is new to the Formula 1 calendar. It is the fifth round of the campaign and will take place from May 6-8, 2022, at the Miami Gardens circuit with a distance of 5.41 km.
“We are excited about our long-term partnership with Crypto.com. This will be an international event and we look forward to growing together on a global scale,”
said Jeremy Walls, Hard Rock Stadium’s Chief Revenue Officer.
Crypto.com, a pioneer in sports sponsorship
The cryptocurrency platform has become important in the Formula 1 industry. Indeed, Crypto.com has signed various agreements with teams and the organization.
Last summer, the exchange signed a 5-year deal with F1 for $100 million. As part of this collaboration, Crypto.com displays its brand at Formula 1 races and helps the organization develop non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Another example is the multi-year agreement with the Aston Martin F1 team, which is making a comeback after a 60-year absence. The Crypto.com logo now appears on Aston Martin’s F1 cars and the companies are also working on creating products related to NFTs.
