Club Brugge has a new sleeve partner. BLOX, BTC-Direct's Crypto-App will adorn the Blue-Black shirt for the next 2 seasons.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, ... Crypto is "hot. But how do you get started? With BLOX. BLOX is the app to buy and sell crypto currencies super fast. Simply from your phone, with no technical prior knowledge. Club puts its money where its mouth is: The partnership with BLOX is paid entirely in crypto coins, unique in Belgium and among Champions League clubs.
Chairman Bart Verhaeghe: "This partnership is a very logical step. Club Brugge and BLOX are two innovative companies, in a world that is evolving extremely fast. Crypto currencies will play a more prominent role in our economy in the future, but the general public often does not have access to them now. BLOX's app changes that. It is therefore very symbolic to announce such a progressive partnership in a historic trading city like Bruges, where during the Middle Ages the concept of the stock exchange originated."
CBO Bob Madou: "We at Club strongly believe in the future of digital currencies. Crypto has become a fixture in the financial sector in recent years and BLOX is a reliable, sustainable party that has been there since 2013, the very beginning. The innovative character of BLOX fits our Club perfectly and we are proud to realize this deal 100% in crypto, the first such deal in the Belgian B2C market. In recent years, we at Club have gone through a journey towards more customer-friendliness and convenience and we believe that digital currencies can play a role in this in the future. Just think of the possibility of integrating the BLOX-App into the Fan wallet so that, for example, paying with Crypto on Club can become possible."
Mike Hutting, CEO BLOX: "The cooperation with Club Brugge is special for us in several ways. First of all, because with CB we are meeting a party that is highly regarded not only on the field, but also as an organization. We felt the drive for innovation very strongly from the very first conversations we had. As crypto believers from the first hour, it is of course fantastic for us to do the entire deal in bitcoin. We are greatly looking forward to our partnership and who knows what else we as CB and BLOX can accomplish together."
