The amazing marketing machine of highly popular dog meme crypto project Floki Inu ($FLOKI) has secured a strategic partnership with one of The Netherlands’ top professional football clubs.
What Is Floki Inu ($FLOKI)?
The idea of creating this cryptocurrency was born on June 25 after Dogecoin ($DOGE) advocate Elon Musk tweeted that the name of his Shiba Inu dog would be “Floki”.

Currently, you can buy $FLOKI on decentralized exchanges Uniswap and PancakeSwap and centralized exchanges Gate.io, Decoin, and MXCE Global.
The Floki Inu team says that some of the projects that will use the $FLOKI token are as follows:
- Valhalla: “A Play-To-Earn NFT gaming metaverse currently being developed by the FLOKI team. Our goal with Valhalla is to get many people who might not have otherwise heard about crypto to explore cryptocurrency and blockchain technology through an NFT game — and to get paid while doing it.“
- FlokiPlace: “The NFT economy is strong and will only become more vibrant. We also look forward to a world where people can easily purchase physical goods with cryptocurrency. FlokiPlaces aims to fill this gap by making it easy for people to trade NFTs and physical goods while paying with cryptocurrency — with the FLOKI token as the core payment option.“
- Inuversity: “FLOKI is working to help create a world where pretty much everyone is exposed to cryptocurrency and the blockchain in some form. To achieve this, we believe educating people about blockchain technology is mission practical. Floki Inuversity will be the premier cryptocurrency education platform. It’s focus is to educate the mainstream audience FLOKI appeals to and get them more familiar with cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.“
