Wolverhampton Wanderers, an English professional football team, has signed a partnership with cryptocurrency    Exchange   Exchange An exchange is known as a marketplace that supports the trading of derivatives, commodities, securities, and other financial instruments.Generally, an exchange is accessible through a digital platform or sometimes at a tangible address where investors organize to perform trading. Among the chief responsibilities of an exchange would be to uphold honest and fair-trading practices. These are instrumental in making sure that the distribution of supported security rates on that exchange are effectively relevant with real-time pricing.Depending upon where you reside, an exchange may be referred to as a bourse or a share exchange while, as a whole, exchanges are present within the majority of countries. Who is Listed on an Exchange?As trading continues to transition more to electronic exchanges, transactions become more dispersed through varying exchanges. This in turn has caused a surge in the implementation of trading algorithms and high-frequency trading applications. In order for a company to be listed on a stock exchange for example, a company must divulge information such as minimum capital requirements, audited earnings reports, and financial reports.Not all exchanges are created equally, with some outperforming other exchanges significantly. The most high-profile exchanges to date include the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), the London Stock Exchange (LSE), and the Nasdaq. Outside of trading, a stock exchange may be used by companies aiming to raise capital, this is most commonly seen in the form of initial public offerings (IPOs).Exchanges can now handle other asset classes, given the rise of cryptocurrencies as a more popularized form of trading.

The exchange's logo will appear on the sleeves of the footballers' shirts and appear on LED screens around the stadium.

CoinDeal

CoinDeal handles $1.3 million in daily trading volumes according to coinmarketcap.com, and its website supports six languages. When visiting the website, you are greeted with the words "STOP! THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE." It seems to place emphasis on being user-friendly, for example allowing users to vote for a new cryptocurrency to be added.

It is operated by a company called Verified Trading Solutions, which is based in Cyprus. The exchange also has offices in Switzerland and Poland. The exchange says that its aim is to be licensed by the Swiss financial watchdog, FINMA, and it created a company called VTS Swiss GmbH for this purpose.

CoinDeal co-founder Kajetan Maćkowiak said: “I have always had a passion for the world of sports and its impact on consumers. At CoinDeal we are very aware of the impact that football marketing can have on brand and its community, especially in industry such as ours. We believe that a club like Wolves will help portray our message global."

Wolves

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC was created in 1877 under the name St. Luke's FC, and changed its name two years later after merging with the Blakenhall Wanderers, a local cricket team. It was one of the founding teams of the English Football League in 1888, which itself is the oldest league in the world (its original name was the 'Football League').

It will begin the 2018/19 season in the Premier League, having been promoted from the Championship league last season.

Wolves managing director Laurie Dalrymple said: “We are absolutely thrilled to partner with CoinDeal at such an exciting time in Wolves’ history, and very pleased to announce our first ever shirt sleeve sponsor. Once more a partner has agreed to tweaking the colour of their logo to complement our kit, which is a huge gesture of goodwill towards the club and its fans, and something we are very grateful for.”

Sponsorship

Sunny Singh, CEO of Van Hawke Sports, told Finance Magnates: "The sponsorship itself is not surprising considering Wolves owners ONSUN continuing investment in    Blockchain  Blockchain Blockchain comprises a digital network of blocks with a comprehensive ledger of transactions made in a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or other altcoins.One of the signature features of blockchain is that it is maintained across more than one computer. The ledger can be public or private (permissioned.) In this sense, blockchain is immune to the manipulation of data making it not only open but verifiable. Because a blockchain is stored across a network of computers, it is very difficult to tamper with. The Evolution of BlockchainBlockchain was originally invented by an individual or group of people under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. The purpose of blockchain was originally to serve as the public transaction ledger of Bitcoin, the world’s first cryptocurrency.In particular, bundles of transaction data, called “blocks”, are added to the ledger in a chronological fashion, forming a “chain.” These blocks include things like date, time, dollar amount, and (in some cases) the public addresses of the sender and the receiver.The computers responsible for upholding a blockchain network are called “nodes.” These nodes carry out the duties necessary to confirm the transactions and add them to the ledger. In exchange for their work, the nodes receive rewards in the form of crypto tokens.By storing data via a peer-to-peer network (P2P), blockchain controls for a wide range of risks that are traditionally inherent with data being held centrally.Of note, P2P blockchain networks lack centralized points of vulnerability. Consequently, hackers cannot exploit these networks via normalized means nor does the network possess a central failure point.In order to hack or alter a blockchain’s ledger, more than half of the nodes must be compromised. Looking ahead, blockchain technology is an area of extensive research across multiple industries, including financial services and payments, among others.

That said the Polish founded CoinDeal and Wolves sponsorship is a wonderful example of a cryptocurrency firm using sports sponsorship of a EPL team as a means to raise their brand awareness on a global scale. It won’t be too long before we start seeing player transfers conducted using cryptocurrency."

The first ever football kit sponsorship deal was revealed in January 1976 when an English team called Kettering Town came onto the field with the words 'Kettering Tyres' on their chests. The team was actually ordered to remove the logo because worded advertising had been banned from the football league in 1972. The practice was formally allowed in 1977 after other teams put pressure on the Football Association.

The Kettering Tyres deal was reportedly worth a 4-figure sum; in the 2017 Premier League season, the 20 teams' sponsorship deals were worth £281 million.
