Why is DeFiChain sponsoring NFC?

DeFiChain has a rapidly growing user base in Germany. Over the years, DeFiChain has had a significant presence in the German market, which has not been a recent focus of marketing activities. By leveraging this sponsorship opportunity, the startup aims to strengthen its connection with the thriving German community and continue to cultivate its strong presence in the market.

In addition, according to market research conducted by agencies partnering with DeFiChain Accelerator, individuals within the crypto community are keenly interested in gaming, basketball, fighting sports, and drone racing. By sponsoring the largest German MMA league, DeFiChain has the opportunity to draw more crypto enthusiasts to its most robust market.

Commenting on the sponsorship, Michael Ortlepp, Managing Director of the NFC organizer Fighting GmbH, said, “It is a great joy and privilege for us to announce our partnership with DeFiChain. NFC as well as DeFiChain follow the same values and goals and are made for a great partnership that will have a lasting effect on the German MMA scene.”

With its growing community base in the German market, DeFi Chain will also have the opportunity to attract more crypto-curious people in the German market. Prior to sponsoring the NFC, DeFiChain collaborated with several agencies to conduct market research. It found that crypto users and developers are highly interested in gaming, basketball, fighting sports, and drone racing.

“I’m really happy about the partnership between us and the team of fighting.de. With the DeFiChain sponsored 10,000€ “Fighter of the Night Bonus” we are able to give the fighters the appreciation they deserve. Our community is looking forward to being part of this fantastic fighting community,” said Benedikt Keck, Project Lead NFC Sponsoring at DeFiChain.

DeFiChain will also sponsor a “Fighter Of The Night Bonus” for the best fight of the evening. The fighters will be paid directly in DFI in their Wallet. They will be able to spend it however they want, or use it to invest in dStocks or liquidity mining on DeFiChain to earn more rewards. There will also be a “Fan of the Night Bonus,” where one fan will be randomly selected during the live event and if they can show that they have the DeFiChain Wallet installed they will get 1,000 DFI.
