The Western Bulldogs is partnering with cryptocurrency exchange, CoinSpot.
According to CoinSpot, this is the first time a cryptocurrency exchange has engaged with a major sports team in Australia.
For the remainder of the 2021 season, and with an option to extend, CoinSpot will feature prominently on the back of the Bulldogs’ AFL guernsey and on its media backdrop.
Russell Wilson, CoinSpot CEO, says: “CoinSpot is proud to be partnering with the Western Bulldogs, who are in the midst of an exciting time in the club’s history for this season and the future.”
Wilson adds: “We share the same values as the Bulldogs, and we cannot think of a better club to align with. Seeing the CoinSpot brand on the back of the jumpers is an awesome feeling for us and the cryptocurrency space as a whole.”
“Much like the Western Bulldogs’ recent ongoing success, CoinSpot is continuing to kick goals and has big plans for the future”, he says.
CoinSpot is an Australian cryptocurrency exchange established in 2013. The company says it has grown to well over one million Australian users, and positions itself as one of most popular platforms to buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in Australia.
It also brands itself as a market leader in the industry through its focus on simplicity and easy access for all Australians interested in learning about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
Ameet Bains, Bulldogs CEO, notes: “It’s really pleasing for the club to have secured a partner for the back of our Bulldogs guernsey for the remainder of the 2021 season, and hopefully beyond. We’re excited about the journey we’re starting with CoinSpot.”
He says CoinSpot is an innovative, forward-looking business which is entrenched and trusted in the world of cryptocurrency.
“We’re excited by the aspirations and overall mindset to progress that we share, and the obvious capacity for us to work together for the betterment of both businesses”, he says.
He adds: “It’s an exciting time for the football club both on and off the field, and our new partnership with CoinSpot helps put us in an even stronger position heading into the future.
He concludes: “I’d like to particularly commend our commercial partnerships team, led by Nick Truelson, for its relentless efforts in working to secure a partnership of this magnitude for the club.”
