Vetting Crypto Partnerships: Spotting Perils and Building Long-Term Success in a Volatile Market

Cryptocurrencies and Web 3.0 were the buzz of the sports industry over the past year, but not always for the right reasons. The much-hyped push into the metaverse and crypto preceded the much-reported decline (and demise, in some cases) of cryptocurrencies and the Web 3.0 companies that promised value in the form of NFTs, cryptocurrencies, or otherwise. So how should sports entities, from teams to vendors, approach potential partnerships with cryptocurrencies and companies aligned with them? What opportunities remain and what pitfalls should you avoid? This expert panel will have the answers.
