Coinbase and NBA Sign Partnership Deal

Coinbase and the National Basketball Association (NBA) are teaming up on a multi-year partnership, the publicly traded crypto exchange said Tuesday.

The deal extends to the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), NBA G League, NBA 2K League and USA Basketball.

“As part of the partnership, we will create interactive experiences to engage with the NBA and WNBA’s incredible community and athletes around the world,” Coinbase CMO Kate Rouch said in a statement.

It’s another step into the crypto universe for the North American basketball league. A partnership deal with Dapper Labs on NBA Top Shot kicked off non-fungible token (NFT) mania earlier this year.

The NBA’s tie-up with Coinbase is reminiscent of Major League Baseball (MLB) inking a deal with crypto exchange FTX that went live in July.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
