So far, seven football clubs of the English Premier League and one of the Italian Serie announced the new partnerships.
The seven English Premier League clubs that embraced the new partnership with eToro are Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton & Hove Albion FC, Cardiff City FC, Crystal Palace FC, Leicester City FC, Newcastle United FC and Southampton FC. On the other hand, the Italian Rimini football club teamed up with Quantocoin to use Bitcoin (BTC).

“At Tottenham Hotspur, we are committed to technology and innovation and as such we’re excited to welcome eToro as a partner in a category that is developing at a rapid rate,” also said Fran Jones, Head of Partnerships, Tottenham Hotspur FC.
