Crypto.com (CCC:CRO-USD) is looking to close 2021 with a big bang. The exchange has been able to hold onto its gains better than others in recent weeks in the face of market corrections. Now, with the market regaining its footing, gains are market wide and the exchange’s flagship coin is no exception. But, there is a catalyst rapidly approaching that stands to turn these paltry gains into something more substantial. Investors are seeking out Crypto.com Coin price predictions ahead of the platform’s big Staples Center renaming.
The latter half of the year has seen aggressive marketing from crypto exchanges in the U.S. Partnerships are being struck up at breakneck speed with sports leagues, teams, arenas and a slew of celebrity endorsements. Primetime TV is now a battleground where FTX is fighting for exposure with Crypto.com, both of whom have launched campaigns featuring NFL star Tom Brady and Hollywood actor Matt Damon, respectively.
With cryptocurrency becoming a focal point for American investors, exchanges are clamoring to be the go-to brand for this emerging demographic of investors. One of the easiest ways in is through professional sports. In fact, 72% of Americans consider themselves to be at least avid professional sports fans. For this reason, the go-to method of advertising for these platforms is through sports.
Crypto.com is taking this ideology to monolithic new highs. The exchange is going to be the new face of the Staples Center in Los Angeles, after striking up a naming rights deal worth $700 million. Indeed, the Staples Center has been an icon in the city, hosting professional sports franchises across the NBA, WBNA and NHL. The deal is so large in scope, in fact, that many call it the biggest moment in a year chock-full of partnerships between exchanges and sports institutions.
