Crypto momentum at the 2026 World Cup
The 2026 FIFA World Cup has been established as the largest stage for adoption by the cryptocurrency industry, marking a historic milestone in the convergence between the world’s biggest sport and *blockchain* technology.
With the expansion to 48 teams, the tournament not only breaks records on the pitch, but also in the digital economy. FIFA’s designation of **Kraken** as the official crypto exchange sponsor shows how digital assets have moved from being simple ads to being integrated into the infrastructure of global entertainment.
