United to Pay Its Players in Cryptocurrency
Gibraltar United F.C., a
team founded in 1943 and currently playing in the Gibraltar Football League’s
Premier Division, has decided to introduce cryptocurrency salary payments for
its players. The club reportedly secured a sponsorship partnership with the
help of the owner, Pablo Dana, an investor in the Quantocoin ICO.
The owner explained that a
“preoccupation with transparency” prompted the introduction of cryptocurrency
to Gibraltar United, predicting that the technology’s open-access nature could
curtail the “corruption scandals that have plagued football.” It has also
reportedly given his club an easy way to help foreign players who have
difficulty setting up bank accounts in the British Overseas Territory.
