Crypto Padel League Season 1 Underway in London

The Crypto Padel League's first season is now live in London. Twenty-four teams from across the digital asset industry are competing at House of Racquet, with matches scheduled weekly.

Louis Rosher, co-founder of the league, said the crypto world is built on community. Most networking still happens through screens or at oversubscribed events, he added. The league gives teams a weekly reason to show up, compete, and get to know the people they do business with.

Participating firms include:

• Flight3
• Zodia Custody
• LSEG
• CoinShares
• TradeWeb
• Solana
• LI.FI
• Elwood
• B2C2
• BCB Group
• Bitwise
• Coinbase
• Canton
• IMC
• TPICAP
• HT.Digital
• CoinRoutes
• Cumberland
• Fireblocks
• LMAX Group
• Greengage
• Uphold
• R3

LI.FI and Solana are the league's lead sponsors, with Superteam providing additional support.

The roster of participants reads like a who's who of crypto infrastructure and trading. Coinbase, Fireblocks, and Solana are household names in the space. The league's format could foster partnerships that extend beyond the court. Rosher said London is just the start. If the season delivers, the format will travel to other cities where the crypto industry is active.

Waitlist applications for Season 2 are open. Spots are limited.
