Our partnership is focused on fusing the crypto ecosystem with the RB Leipzig fan experience to provide interactive opportunities for fans. Underpinned by an emphasis on educating new audiences about crypto, both sides are collaborating to unleash crypto’s full potential and inspire new ways for German fans to deepen their connection to the club.
In practice, this involves delivering engaging fan experiences that range from exclusive content to fan pop-ups, along with original products that further fan engagement.
Kraken Chief Marketing Officer Mayur Gupta: “Kraken and RB Leipzig’s origin stories share similar roots in charting an unconventional path to achieve long term success in our respective fields. Kraken has spent over a decade providing a bridge to the crypto ecosystem while raising the bar for client service and industry cybersecurity protocols.”
“As we continue our expansion strategy and efforts to further our mission across Europe, we’re proud to partner with such a forward-thinking club to showcase the value that crypto can bring to football fans and the local community, while driving understanding and adoption of crypto.”
RB Leipzig’s Managing Director Johann Plenge: “We are proud to have partnered with another internationally successful company. With Kraken, we have expanded our network by working alongside a significant U.S. brand just a few weeks after our first U.S. tour.”
“RB Leipzig and Kraken share a strong, professional and innovative approach, as was highlighted during talks together in Miami. What also unites us is that both Kraken and RB Leipzig have become key figures on our respective playing fields within a very short time – and still have a lot planned for the future. We look forward to taking these next steps together!”
