The super Bowl LVI starts on Sunday and it has already seen massive interest from different crypto companies. Plenty of exchanges spent millions on advertisements to reach viewers during the game. FTX for example announced it will give out free BTC as a part of the BTC campaign with the platform paying for advertising space back in 2021. Another major crypto exchange Crypto.com paid more than $6 million for a 30-second ad in the 2022 Super bowl.
As recently reported, The campaign is a part of an effort by FTX to gain a huge brand presence in the more mainstream audience of sports fans considering that the Super Bowl is the most-watched sports event in the US. Sam Bankman Fried is an expert in aggressive marketing tactics and the campaign is no exception so it will not be just a typical giveaway but it will rely on luck and timing. No one knows how much money will be involved in the giveaway and therein lies the creative part of the campaign with the exchange explained that the number of BTC to be given away will depend on the time that the AD appears on the TV screen during the Super Bowl.
