The Gonzaga Bulldogs men’s basketball team secured a collaborative deal with the Kiba Inu cryptocurrency token. The NCAA Zags and Kiba Inu partnership showcases one of the first deals between an intercollegiate program and a cryptocurrency in the U.S. Kiba Inu has sponsored numerous international sports leagues, such as the European Cricket League, Udinese Calcio Italian Football Club, and the Odisha Indian Football Club.

The deal offers visibility to Kiba Inu to an American audience, as it is their first U.S. based partnership.Cryptocurrencies continue to absorb the market share of retail investments and liquidity that traditionally would have gone to the stock market. Amber Foucault, head of product at Cardify, claimed that investors set aside more funds towards cryptocurrencies than in previous years, up from 5% to 25% in 2021. While stocks, IRAs, and other traditional investment opportunities remain options for investors, the financial-tech landscape is ever-evolving. Cryptocurrencies have been a hot topic in the U.S., with debate over regulatory measures to protect novice investors. Any cryptocurrency legislation will have to go through a bureaucratic process. Still, it has not suppressed companies and organizations from taking advantage of opportunities to highlight innovative partnerships, such as the Zags and Kiba Inu.Gonzaga Bulldogs men’s basketball games regularly draw in over 6,000 fans to the McCarthey Athletic CenterFor decades, brands and private corporations have associated themselves with sporting events and leagues, such as the Super Bowl, which commanded over five million dollars for a thirty-second commercial in 2022.

Whether on the court or developing a set of tools, the edge always goes to the communities that give it their all every single time, which is exactly why the Gonzaga x Kiba partnership is our biggest and most exciting opportunity yet.”Kiba Inu can be purchased using the Binance Smart Chain, the Ethereum Network, and at the time of writing is valued at 58m on CoinMarketCap.References:https://gozags.com/news/2022/4/13/mens-basketball-gonzaga-basketball-partners-with-kiba-inu.aspxhttps://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/20/some-investors-putting-more-money-into-cryptocurrencies-than-stocks.htmlhttps://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/super-bowl-commercials-cost-2022/v9ytfqzx74pjrcdvxyhevlzdStay Informed with Kiba Inu:https://twitter.com/KibaInuWorldhttp://t.me/KibaInuGlobalhttps://t.co/P1cIXxbZ6uEmail: [email protected] information provided in this release is not investment advice, financial advice, or trading advice.
