The Seychelles-based exchange has become La Liga’s official crypto partner, signifying a major push for crypto adoption in sports. The deal, set to last for two years, will focus on areas including Eastern, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, where both entities see tremendous growth opportunities.

The partnership aims to leverage Spain’s top league extensive fan base and Bitget’s technological prowess to enhance fan engagement through Web3 solutions.
