The cryptocurrency exchange zondacrypto revelaed today (Thursday) that AS Monaco has joined its roster of football team partnerships. The announcement was made official during the platform's event in Monte Carlo.

From Football to Crypto Traders' Hearts

Football and finance have gone hand in hand for years. First, FX/CFD brokers recognized this synergy, followed by cryptocurrency exchanges. zondacrypto is no exception. The platform has now added AS Monaco, a French Ligue 1 team performing well in the current Champions League season, to its growing roster of partner football clubs.

The announcement took place in the team's home city-state during an event where zondacrypto officially listed its previously introduced native ZND token.

The exchange has established strong sports connections, partnering with Juventus FC and featuring their former goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, as well as recently joining forces with Atalanta BC. Their commitment to Italian sports is further demonstrated through collaboration with soccer legend Giorgio Chiellini and sponsorship of the prestigious cycling race Giro d'Italia.
