With the commencement of the 2024–2025 football season, another sports sponsorship has been sealed. Today (Wednesday), blockchain firm BlockDAG revealed its three-year deal with German football club Borussia Dortmund (BVB), worth $10 million.
Deep-Pocketed Crypto Firms Entering Football
The latest deal came after Coinbase, one of the big names in crypto exchanges, extended its agreement with BVB for the next three years. Coinbase first became BVB’s sponsor in 2021. However, the finances of that deal remain unknown.
“Partnering with one of the world’s most successful football clubs, boasting one of the largest and most passionate fan bases globally, marks a pivotal moment for BlockDAG,” said Antony Turner, CEO of BlockDAG.

Under the terms of the deal, BlockDAG earned the status of BVB’s Premium Blockchain Partner. Further, the blockchain company has gained branding rights across Signal Iduna Park, the official stadium of BVB, which has a maximum capacity of accommodating 81,365 spectators, including LED advertising around the pitch and prominent placements on large screens during home matches.
“It was exciting to see our branding at the iconic 80,000-seater Signal Iduna Park during BVB's recent victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, and we eagerly anticipate many more exciting moments and successful outcomes in the future,” Turner added.
Promotions on Physical and Digital Infrastructure
The blockchain company will also be able to promote its branding on the football club's social media channels. BVB has 20.9 million followers on Instagram, 15 million followers on Facebook, 4.4 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), and 1.3 million subscribers on YouTube.
The sponsorship deal also includes elements of fan engagement, as the blockchain company plans to launch a series of fan competitions and giveaways, including VIP matchday experiences and signed memorabilia. It will also offer VIP hospitality to selected fans and $BDAG coin holders, including behind-the-scenes stadium tours, meet-and-greets with Borussia Dortmund players, and access to exclusive events and premium seating. These fan engagement arrangements usually come with deals of such size.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
