Crypto.com, a platform that allows users to trade and receive payments in crypto, is now the official cryptocurrency platform partner for the Paris Saint-Germain, the club that recently contracted the world\u2019s greatest footballer Lionel Messi. <\/p>\n
As part of the multi-year and very significant deal, Paris-Saint Germain is also planning to release a non-fungible token or NFT to be sold through the crypto.com native NFT platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The announcement came yesterday from the two companies. Crypto.com will pay a portion of the sponsorship fee using its native CRO crypto token. Crypto.com co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek said the move would propel the adoption of cryptocurrencies and boost football fan experiences. <\/p>\n
