Galatasaray Partners with Arkham to Drive Crypto Adoption in Turkey
Galatasaray SK, one of Turkey's most storied football clubs, has forged a strategic partnership with blockchain analytics platform Arkham to accelerate cryptocurrency and Web3 adoption. The collaboration targets Turkey's youth-dominated sports audience through match-day activations, digital campaigns, and branded content.
Arkham CEO Miguel Morel emphasized Turkey's vibrant blockchain ecosystem during the sponsorship signing, noting the country's receptiveness to next-generation financial technologies. The deal positions Arkham to expand its user base in a market where 40% of adults reportedly own crypto assets.
The partnership follows a growing trend of sports franchises leveraging crypto sponsorships to engage younger demographics. Galatasaray's global fanbase provides Arkham with a captive audience for demonstrating blockchain utility beyond speculative trading.
