The Benefits of Cryptocurrency in Gibraltar Football

Gibraltar has made history again with Cryptocurrency, but this time with the help of it’s football team.

Premier Division Gibraltar United are the world’s first football team to be paid in cryptocurrency.

The club’s owner, Pablo Dana, who is also an investor in the cryptocurrency Quantocoin, has commented that all player’s contracts will include agreements on cryptocurrency payments by the start of the next season.

With Gibraltar and it’s finance sector currently world leaders in the Fintech sector and managing the blockchain database, it makes sense why such a decision has been employed. Not forgetting the first regulatory legal framework launching cryptocurrrency was introduced by Gibraltar itself.

Gibraltar, always one step ahead as the global trendsetter and now in the spotlight to show how football, a shared global passion, can also take advantage of cryptocurrency in becoming a realistic income.

How Transparency of Cryptocurrency Can Diminish Corruptness in Football

Pablo Dana has praised blockchain and how it can diminish corruption in the form of under-the-table payments in football. Cryptocurrency has been the answer to paying foreign players in his club, so they don’t even have to open a bank account in Gibraltar. Cryptocurrency transfers are not only tax free and fee free, they are instant.

All transactions are completely transparent, so you can see an audit trail of all payments. The system logs each time a payment is made. This has a positive effect on the entire team, because there is no malpractice and players perform better because of a fair culture in the game.

Dana also applauds Gibraltar for being the first in history to regulate betting companies twenty years ago. Now the betting and gambling industry is one of the key features of football with betting companies featuring as shirt sponsors on nine premier league teams last season. Betting companies earn football clubs millions of pounds through advertising.

Gibraltar’s successes have been based on legal regulations, which has seen it flourish in creating new sectors every few years.
