Crypto Becomes an Integral Part of Sports: New B2BINPAY Report Reveals Growth and Trends
Once considered a niche financial tool, cryptocurrency has become a driving force in sports. The report reveals that crypto's community-driven ethos mirrors football's global fan culture, making the two a natural fit. It traces the journey from early achievements, such as the first crypto-assisted player transfer in 2018, to landmark deals like São Paulo FC's $6 million USDC transfer in 2022. Sponsorships have grown rapidly, with global crypto sports sponsorship spending reaching $565 million in the 2024/25 season, 59% of which was driven by football, representing a 20% year-on-year increase.
The report also explores how NFTs, fan tokens, and decentralized autonomous organizations are transforming fan engagement, giving supporters unprecedented access, influence, and exclusive experiences. Looking ahead, it predicts a rapid increase in crypto use for transfers and salaries, the rise of blockchain-powered football games that merge entertainment with decentralized finance, and deeper integration between sponsors and clubs that goes beyond logo placements.
B2BINPAY's own partnership with Athletic Club is highlighted as an example of this trend. Renewed for the 2025 season, the collaboration reflects the shared values of innovation, community, and ambition that unite football and crypto. Athletic's direct qualification to the UEFA Champions League adds an exciting new chapter to the partnership's story.
'Football and crypto share the same DNA — community, innovation, and the will to break boundaries,' said Arthur Azizov, CEO of B2BINPAY. 'This report shows that what started as isolated experiments has grown into a global trend that's here to stay.'
The full report is available now on B2BINPAY's official website.

Former Boston Celtics forward explains decision to return to NBA
Guerschon Yabusele joined the Boston Celtics as the 16th overall pick in 2016. He spent two seasons with the franchise, totalling 74 regular-season games, where he averaged 6.6 minutes per outing. Yabusele had likely made the jump to the NBA too soon, as a result, found himself heading back to Europe ahead of the 2019-20 season. During Yabusele's time away from the NBA, he became a key part of Real Madrid's roster, improving every facet of his game to prove himself as one of the best players the EuroLeague had to offer. Yabusele's improvements were on full display throughout the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he shone for the French National Team. As a result, Yabusele got his second chance in the NBA, earning a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. Yabusele impressed during his return season and has now signed a two-year contract with the New York Knicks. He will likely play a key role in Mike Brown's second unit. During a recent episode of "The Roommates" podcast, Yabusele explained his decision to return to the NBA to new teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart. He also touched on the difference between the NBA game and the European game and his hopes for the upcoming season. You can watch the full podcast episode by clicking on the embedded video above.

Dollar Falls as Trump Calls for Fed Governor Cook to Resign
The dollar index (DXY00) today is down by -0.12%. The dollar fell from a 1-week high today and turned lower on political risks and concerns about Fed independence after President Trump called for Fed Governor Lisa Cook to resign amid a probe into two personal mortgages. FHFA Director Pulte wrote a letter to Attorney General Bondi suggesting Ms. Cook may have committed a criminal offense by allegedly falsifying bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms. The dollar initially moved higher today after EUR/USD fell to a 1-week low when ECB President Lagarde said she sees slower growth in the Eurozone. The weakness in stocks today has also boosted some liquidity demand for the dollar. In addition, the dollar has support due to speculation that last week's stronger-than-expected July PPI report could keep the Fed from cutting interest rates at next month's FOMC meeting, as expectations for a -25 bp Fed rate cut in September fell to 84% area from 93% before the report. More News from Barchart Dollar Recovers as Stocks Falter Signs of Peace Progress in Ukraine Boosts the Euro and Weighs on the Dollar What Will Powell Reveal About Interest Rate Cuts on August 22? And How Will Markets React? Get exclusive insights with the FREE Barchart Brief newsletter. Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. Federal funds futures prices are discounting the chances for a -25 bp rate cut at 84% at the September 16-17 FOMC meeting and at 55% for a second -25 bp rate cut at the following meeting on October 28-29. EUR/USD (^EURUSD) today is up by +0.09%. The euro recovered from a 1-week low today and turned higher after the dollar retreated when President Trump said Fed Governor Lisa Cook "must resign" now due to allegations of mortgage fraud. The euro initially moved lower today on comments from ECB President Lagarde, who said the Eurozone economy is likely to see slower growth this quarter, with questions over global trade remaining despite recent trade deals with the US reducing uncertainty. President Trump is pushing for a summit between Presidents Putin and Zelenskiy soon, and European leaders are discussing a plan to send British and French troops to Ukraine as part of a peace agreement. The outcome could have macroeconomic implications regarding tariffs and oil prices, and could, of course, have significant consequences for European security. Swaps are pricing in a 7% chance of a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at the September 11 policy meeting. USD/JPY (^USDJPY) today is down by -0.35%. The yen is climbing today due to weakness in the dollar. Also, higher Japanese government bond yields have strengthened the yen's interest rate differentials and boosted the yen after the 10-year JGB bond yield rose to a 16-year high today of 1.621%. In addition, lower T-note yields on Tuesday were supportive of the yen. Today's Japanese economic news was mixed for the yen as Jun core machine orders unexpectedly increased, but July exports posted their largest decline in almost 4.5 years. Japanese trade news was mixed as Jul exports fell -2.6% y/y, weaker than expectations of -2.1% y/y and the largest decline in almost 4.5 years. However, Jul imports fell -7.5% y/y, a smaller decline than expectations of -10.0% y/y. Japan Jun core machine orders unexpectedly rose +3.0% m/m, stronger than expectations of a decline of -0.5% m/m. December gold (GCZ25) today is up +27.30 (+0.81%), and September silver (SIU25) is up +0.378 (+1.01%). Precious metal prices recovered from early losses today and moved higher due to a weaker dollar and lower T-note yields. Also, an increase in US political uncertainty and concerns about Fed independence has boosted safe-haven demand for precious metals after President Trump called for Fed Governor Lisa Cook to resign amid allegations of mortgage fraud. Gold continues to have safe-haven support related to US tariffs and geopolitical risks, including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Fund buying of precious metals continues to support prices after gold holdings in ETFs rose to a 2-year high last Friday, and silver holdings in ETFs reached a 3-year high on Tuesday. Precious metals initially moved lower today as signs of progress in peace talks over Ukraine have curbed some safe-haven demand. Also, today's hawkish UK July CPI report may keep the BOE from cutting interest rates and is bearish for precious metals. Silver prices were undercut today due to concerns over industrial metal demand after ECB President Lagarde said the Eurozone economy is likely to see slower growth this quarter. UK Jul CPI rose +3.8% y/y, stronger than expectations of +3.7% y/y and the fastest pace of increase in 1.5 years. Jul core CPI also rose +3.8% y/y, stronger than expectations of +3.7% y/y.
