AC Milan extend association with BitMEX as premium partner

Italian giant, AC Milan have extended their partnership deal with a cryptocurrency exchange and derivative trading platform, BitMEX.

In this development, BitMEX, which is already the official cryptocurrency trading partner of the team, will now become a premium partner of the club.

As a result of this new partnership, the two parties are united along a shared road that shows innovation, determination, and a goal to be the best in their respective sectors. This path is also responsive to the topic of inclusivity and shows a commitment to the future. As a matter of fact, AC Milan and BitMEX have already worked together on a number of projects, from the celebration of the 19th Scudetto triumph to the assistance provided to Fondazione Milan to bolster its social commitment and promote charitable events like the Padel Cup, the Milano Marathon, and the charity dinner planned to mark the 20th anniversary of its founding.

Casper Stylsvig, Chief Revenue Officer of AC Milan, said, “We are happy to continue our journey alongside a partner such as BitMEX, with whom we intend to take further steps forward in the path of digitalisation, innovation and growth of the Club, but also to support the many charitable initiatives promoted by Fondazione Milan.”

Stephan Lutz, CEO & Group CFO of BitMEX, said, “We are thrilled to reinforce our partnership with AC Milan. Beyond the philanthropic projects we have worked on together, we both appreciate and applaud the spirit of competition and the sense of connection that comes from it. At BitMEX, we strive to include connection and competition in the services and products we offer – our new social trading feature Guilds allows traders to team up as a Guild and trade against one another.”

BitMEX is an online platform for trading derivatives and a cryptocurrency exchange. Perpetual agreements, futures contracts, and options contracts are a few of the financial services provided by BitMEX that are based on cryptocurrencies. With the use of these products, traders may place wagers on the price alterations of digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others without actually holding the underlying assets.

With a blend of experienced stars and emerging young talent at his disposal, Croatia will hope their returning manager can guide them to another successful era on the international stage.
