Crypto.com, the world’s fastest growing crypto platform, is partnering with Twitch Rivals, the #1 destination for live competitive entertainment on interactive livestreaming service Twitch, to become the first Official Global Marketing Partner of Twitch Rivals, and the first-ever Official Marketing Partner for Twitch Rivals in Asia Pacific. Through this multi-year partnership, Crypto.com also becomes the first Official Cryptocurrency Platform Partner of Twitch Rivals, bringing the expanding cryptocurrency market to the forefront of esports.
Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com, said: “We’re extremely excited to add Twitch Rivals, the home of esports, to our growing portfolio of the world’s best brands in sports. With well-over 1 billion gamers world-wide, fans of gaming and esports are digital natives, for whom cryptocurrency is inevitable.”

Twitch is the worlds largest eSports streaming platform. Twitch Rivals is a series of eSports tournaments hosted by leading eSports streaming service twitch.tv, which attracts over 140 million unique visitors every month from a diverse global audience. The tournaments feature a host of top eSports talent alongside fan-favourite personalities, and include an array of IRL (in real life) and online competitions and games.
Twitch previously added a tipping feature back in December 2019 allowing users to tip streamers with a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin called MenaCash. As a part of the deal, viewers can use the MenaPay mobile app to view Twitch streams and tip their favorite players in real-time.
