Formula One team Red Bull Racing scores a multi-year partnership worth $50 million per annum with crypto exchange Bybit.
Following Red Bull Racing’s most recent wins at Formula One (F1), the racing team scores a three-year partnership with Singapore-based crypto trading platform Bybit for $50 million per year. According to the announcement, the fee will be paid in a combination of fiat and BitDAO (BIT) tokens.
The company announced that the partnership aims to broaden the F1 team’s fan engagement through its capabilities as a crypto exchange. Bybit will act as an issuer of fan tokens and as a tech incubator for Red Bull Racing as part of the deal. This means that the exchange will help the team distribute its digital asset collections and support its other initiatives, such as developing talent through the Red Bull Technology Campus in Milton Keynes.
A new chapter begins.
