There was less news about sports and crypto last week, as crypto-related games were played on the field.

Among them, the baseball game is coming to an end, the NBA and NFL seasons are about to start, and the NHL playoffs are coming soon.

From a Crypto perspective, however, the focus is on the World Cup.

This year's World Cup is held in Qatar, and there are also official Crypto sponsors. The close cooperation between sports and Crypto indicates that the digitalization of sports is coming, let us wait and see.

Next, let's recap last week's big news in sports and crypto.
