While some have called the Cowboys' the first official crypto deal made by an NFL team, that’s not entirely accurate: The New England Patriots partnered with fan token platform Socios in November, though the deal has yet to produce any tokens.
In March, the league amended its temporary ban on all crypto and non-fungible token (NFT) deals it put in place in September, now approving sponsorship deals that don’t include the promotion of specific cryptocurrencies, fan tokens included.
A Socios deal with 13 NFL teams was announced separately on Wednesday. The Dallas Cowboys is not among the teams involved.
