At Thursday’s Miami Heat season opener game in front of Milwaukee Bucks, one of the biggest crypto exchanges FTX has handed $500 worth of crypto to every spectator in the FTX Arena section.
Every fan in the audience is also offered an exclusive “Opening Night FTX Arena NFT” which could be accessed through a QR code in a T-shirt included in the giveaway hamper.
There are speculations among the fans that a different section of the audience can get crypto during each game to heat up the excitement. It is also unknown if this free crypto giveaway will be a regular event at Miami Heat Games.
Ryan Selkis, the founder of Messari calculated an estimated cost of giveaway by considering 21,000 speculators in the arena with 80 seating sections.
FTX is here to stay
