BONK announced as Premium Partner of Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund (BVB), one of Germany’s biggest football clubs, has announced BONK as its most recent International Premium Partner for the 2024-2025 Bundesliga season.

This partnership merges one of the most watched sports in the world with cryptocurrency and web3 technology, and marks a historic moment for the integration of web3 in major sports.

BVB and BONK plan to create a unique experience for fans by using BONK’s web3 know-how to boost fan interaction and offer BVB supporters exclusive opportunities.

Borussia Dortmund has an energetic fanbase, and we’re thrilled to bring the BONK Community to both the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League.

What is BONK?

BONK is a community meme coin, with utility across a wide range of applications and protocols within web3. It was launched on the Solana Blockchain in December 2022 with 40+ ecosystem partners, and has distributed more than 50% of its treasury. BONK’s ecosystem has almost 400 integrations across 11 blockchains, including Bitcoin and Ethereum.

What this means for Crypto and Football?

A partnership of this magnitude can be seen as a huge step towards mainstream adoption, increasing exposure of Crypto and potentially impacting the market depending on the use cases of BONK, if there is any, in the Football world.

It’s not the first time we’ve seen Crypto being embraced by a mainstream sport, and it only further strengthens the relationship between traditional business and the crypto world.

The first promotions will start on September 13th, when Borussia Dortmund face Heidenheim at Signal Iduna Park, their home ground. Football fans and Crypto enthusiasts should keep an eye out for:

• BONK promotions on BVB’s social media channels
• Special events at BVB matches
• Web3 features introduced for BVB fans

The BVB-BONK partnership represents a rise in collaborations between traditional sports, tech and finance with Crypto. However, it’s always important to do your own research and consider market conditions before making investments decisions.
