Houston Texans accepts Bitcoin for single game suites

On Tuesday, NFL team Houston Texans entered into an exclusive partnership with crypto wallet platform BitWallet.

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

Through the partnership, fans of the NFL team will be able to purchase single game suites with bitcoin, using BitWallet as the intermediary (which converts the cryptocurrency to U.S. dollars).

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

According to an announcement, local digital marketing agency EWR Digital has already purchased a single-game suite with bitcoin, making the Texans the first team in the NFL to sell a suite through digital currency.

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

BitWallet is supported in over 160 countries and currently enables users to trade or hold bitcoin, with plans to roll out support for Ether, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Tether, and Bitcoin Cash later this year.

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

"We are proud to partner with BitWallet to offer an exciting option for our fans who are looking to enjoy Texans gameday in one of our suites," Houston Texans President Greg Grissom said. "BitWallet is a perfect collaborator as we continue our efforts to move our organization forward in new and innovative ways."

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

"Digital currency has become a primary means of payment and by partnering with BitWallet, the Texans are leading the way in the NFL," BitWallet CEO John T. Perrone said. "I am honored that BitWallet is the first to offer Texans fans this service."

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

Earlier this year, the Tennessee Titans became the first NFL team to accept bitcoin for large and recurring purchases through a third-party conversion service.

Meta rolls out new Reels features on Instagram and Facebook

Yesterday, Meta announced that it’s launching new Reels features for Instagram and Facebook, including an "Add Yours" sticker that became popular in Stories.

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

Add Yours Sticker

The feature allows users to respond to other users’ Reels with their own related to the topic. For example, you can share a Reel with an Add Yours sticker that asks others to post videos of their favourite movie. Users can see the original creator and everyone that added their own entries by clicking on the sticker.

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

Stars

Meta is expanding access to Stars, a tipping feature that allows fans to express their support for their favourite creators during Facebook videos, livestreams, and now Reels. Creators will also have access to new Reels insights via Creator Studio to discover what content is performing best.

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

Cross-post Reels

All users can now cross-post Reels from Instagram to Facebook in seconds. This will make it easier for creators to build communities on both platforms and take advantage of monetization programs offered by both Facebook and Instagram.

Own and secure your crypto with Ledger
