MIAMI, July 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
Litecoin Foundation announced today that Litecoin has become the
"Official Cryptocurrency of the Miami Dolphins." As cryptocurrency
continues to be adopted by businesses, institutions and individuals
across the globe, this unique partnership creates a powerful
alignment between Litecoin and one of the world's most recognizable
sports brands in the Miami Dolphins.
Launching for the 2019 NFL season, the collaboration with the
Miami Dolphins gives Litecoin the ability to tap into one of the
NFL's largest and most passionate fan bases through in-game
branding and advertising opportunities at Hard Rock Stadium, as
well as inclusion across the team's various online properties and
digital content.
Through the partnership, the Miami Dolphins, Litecoin and Aliant
Payments intend to give home game attendees the ability to pay with
Litecoin and Bitcoin when purchasing tickets for the team's 50/50
raffle, where half of the proceeds benefit the Miami Dolphins
Foundation and its charitable causes. The 50/50 raffle tickets can
be purchased both online and at 14 kiosk and raffle seller
locations throughout Hard Rock Stadium.
"We're thrilled to see Litecoin become the official
cryptocurrency of the Miami Dolphins," said Charlie Lee, creator of Litecoin and managing
director of the Litecoin Foundation. "This collaboration propels
Litecoin in front of an audience of millions of people around the
world at a time where adoption of cryptocurrencies continues to
gain momentum and the ecosystem is able to support real world use
cases in ways previously not possible. We see this as a powerful
way to raise awareness and educate people about Litecoin and
cryptocurrencies on a tremendous scale."
"The Miami Dolphins are always looking for ways to enhance the
fan experience, and this partnership with Litecoin provides the
ability for guests to enjoy our 50/50 raffle while donating to a
great cause," Miami Dolphins Vice President & Chief Information
Officer Kim Rometo said.
Litecoin, consistently one of the most readily available and
most frequently transacted cryptocurrencies in the space, continues
to gain popularity as a faster, less expensive and more secure
means of payment for individuals, and a path towards growth for
merchants. To date, tens of thousands of businesses around the
globe allow their customers to #PayWithLitecoin.
