Specializing in sports, Capital Block is one of the first NFT consultancies to advise clubs in setting up a real strategy around these innovative digital assets, as well as in strengthening the commitment of their supporters, ASM aded.
“Through this partnership, Capital Block will participate in the development of AS Monaco’s NFT strategy, supporting it in the discovery of this new universe and contributing to the development of its NFT community. In order to provide the best possible experience for the Rouge et Blanc fans, Capital Block will advise the Club on the creation and launch of its NFTs, as well as which NFT platforms to partner with. Many activations, including “money can’t buy” experiences and exclusive products available only to certain club’s NFT holders, are already in the pipeline. Capital Block becomes the official NFT agency of AS Monaco and will benefit from visibility on the club’s various communication supports,” the club said.

One of our first aims is to introduce AS Monaco and their fans to NFTs and how best to engage with them. We know the incredible advantages of building an NFT strategy and will be implementing this in the coming months. We are really excited that football clubs across Europe are starting to realise the importance of having an NFT strategy and know those that do will benefit in many ways, as will their fans.”
