Bitmex, a leading crypto derivatives platform, will be AC Milan’s Official Cryptocurrency Trading Partner, the Italian football grand announced on Tuesday. A press release published on its website reveals the two sides have agreed on a multi-year sponsorship.

According to the agreement, the digital asset exchange will also become the soccer team’s “first-ever Official Sleeve Partner.” The Bitmex brand will appear on the sleeves of both the men’s and women’s team playing kits in all competitions, including the UEFA Champions League.
