all about cryptop referances
The professional American football team Houston Texans revealed that it has entered into an exclusive partnership with the company Bitwallet. The deal will give Houston Texans fans the ability to purchase single-game suites with cryptocurrency.
On Tuesday, crypto wallet company Bitwallet announced that the company has entered into an agreement with the National Football League’s (NFL) Houston Texans. The NFL team will allow fans to purchase single game suites and pay with four different digital assets. Bitwallet’s website, which notes that it is the “official wallet of the Houston Texans,” lists the company’s software as supporting bitcoin (BTC), litecoin (LTC), bitcoin cash (BCH), and ethereum (ETH).
“We are proud to partner with Bitwallet to provide an exciting option for our fans looking to enjoy Texans game day in one of our suites,” said Greg Grissom, Houston Texans president in a statement. Grissom added that NFL teams continue their efforts to move “the organization forward in new and innovative ways.”
The Texans also claim to be the first team in the league to accept cryptocurrencies for suite sales. Meanwhile, in recent times, a couple of NFL teams have been open to crypto exposure via sponsorship deals. In mid-April 2022, Blockchain.com partnered with the Dallas Cowboys, and in May 2021, Grayscale Investments became the official digital currency management partner of the New York Giants.
Also, a number of NFL players including Odell Beckham Jr., Saquon Barkley, Russell Okung, Aaron Jones, Patrick Mahomes, Rob ‘Gronk’ Gronkowski and Tom Brady have either invested in cryptocurrencies, supported non-fungible token (NFT) projects, participated in crypto giveaways, or have been paid in bitcoin. Besides the NFL, other professional sports teams have also jumped into crypto. In mid-March 2021, Major League Baseball (MLB) Oakland Athletics (A) accepted bitcoin for health season suites.
During the announcement, Bitwallet CEO John T. Perrone said the company was honored to offer Texans fans the opportunity to use crypto. “Digital currency has become a primary means of payment, and by partnering with BitWallet, the Texans are leading the way in the NFL,” said Perrone. Founded in 1999, the Houston Texans are one of four NFL teams that have never made it to the Super Bowl.
