Tigres, a leading soccer club in Mexico, will allow fans to buy tickets using Bitcoin.
Tigres, a seven-time champion of Mexico’s premium soccer league, has announced a partnership with Bitso to allow fans to buy match and event tickets using Bitcoin.
The purchases will be available this weekend as Tigres faces one of its greatest rivals, America.
The match tickets will be issued via Boletomovil, with the company’s CEO, Walter Gonzales, saying that cryptocurrencies had become a successful asset class, and those who failed to acknowledge the success failed to transition to current trends.
A study showed that more than 55% of the local population was interested in soccer, and they supported the local team.
A recent report said that a leading delivery company in Latin America, Rappi, will venture into cryptocurrencies by supporting Bitcoin payments.
