- -Socios.com wishes to make progress in increasing its fan base by improving the fan experience. The purpose of the company was formed to increase the number of fans. It remains connected to Socios.com’s fans around the world. In his statements, Lionel Messi shared that he is proud to participate in his mission to create a rewarding future with his appearance in this issue.
- -Leading football clubs such as Socios, PSG, Barcelona, Juventus, and Manchester City have also decided to create coins by examining this issue. It is on the way to establishing partnerships with many companies by creating fan tokens for several high-level sports organizations in these clubs.
- -With the decision of Messi’s crypto partnership, the agreement came to the fore after the agreements made by players such as NFL quarterback Tom Brady and NBA star LeBron James.
As reported, American football star Tom Brady was also in the spotlight with some equity stakes last year. Tom Brady, who bought an undisclosed equity stake in the crypto derivatives exchange FTX in June last year and assumed the role of company ambassador, was also among the highlights of the agenda. For this reason, celebrities do not provide such deals in the crypto space as they have trouble knowing what they endorse.
