The partnership between Formula 1 and Crypto.com, which started in 2021, has been extended until 2030. The two groups’ shared goals of increasing participation from fans and education about the bitcoin market are highlighted by this renewal.
Formula 1 has attracted a massive worldwide audience since the relationship began, with a total of 1.5 billion TV watchers, 750 million fans, and 96 million followers on social media. At the same time, Crypto.com has become the undisputed leader in the cryptocurrency sector, with a user base of over 100 million people worldwide.
As part of the prolonged deal, Crypto.com will place an emphasis on providing unique fan experiences and activations at different Grands Prix, including visible branding throughout important races.

Optimistic about the future of cryptocurrencies and the partnership’s possibilities, Steven Kalifowitz, Chief Marketing Officer of Crypto.com, highlighted the significance of Formula 1 in increasing the brand’s worldwide visibility. This revitalization is in line with Crypto.com’s lofty goals for 2025, which is when the firm plans to establish itself as the go-to spot for all things related to digital money and cryptocurrency.
Crypto.com is the clear market leader in bitcoin services, and they just started the Crypto.com Custody Trust Company, a trust company based in the United States. This change makes it possible for the company to provide safe asset holding services to qualifying institutions and customers in the US and Canada.
In the following weeks, digital assets for consumers in these locations will be effortlessly moved to the new platform. Crypto.com guaranteed users they would maintain uninterrupted access to their accounts and money during the transition and will be kept updated every step of the way.
“This is a landmark move,” said Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com. He emphasized the platform’s continuous efforts to improve services and grow its presence in these crucial areas and said it reinforced the company’s trust in the North American crypto environment.
