Ben Zhou, CEO, and co-founder of Bybit, stated that F1 and crypto have a close relationship as both industries can benefit from the collaboration since it attracts new investors into the F1 fan base. He added:

“Formula 1 is the challenger of the norm, and that really goes well with crypto. It’s a really huge synergy we see.”

During the Monaco GP 2022, notable partnerships also include Ferrari with blockchain startup Velas, Mercedes and Bahamian cryptocurrency exchange FTX, and Alfa Romeo and a meme-themed coin inspired by Shiba Inu dubbed Floki Inu (FLOKI).

Moreover, the Aston Martin F1 team has struck a multi-year cooperation agreement with Singapore-based cryptocurrency wallet and exchange Crypto.com to investigate fan interaction and investment opportunities.

On top of that, the world's leading crypto exchange platform in terms of daily trading volume of cryptocurrencies Binance also signed a partnership with the Alpine Formula 1 team to distribute collectibles and NFT airdrops.

Back in February, Bybit joined forces with Oracle Red Bull for a $150 multi-year deal in order to increase the brand’s awareness, and increase engagement with fans via NFTs and tokens.
