[PRESS RELEASE – Vilnius, Lithuania, August 13th, 2025]

BTCC, one of the world’s longest-serving crypto exchanges, welcomed 2023 Defensive Player of the Year and 2x NBA All-Star Jaren Jackson Jr. as its global brand ambassador. As a phenomenal shot blocker and leader on the court for the Memphis Grizzlies, Jaren Jackson Jr. is set to partner with BTCC and the world of crypto.

With BTCC’s first-ever sports sponsorship, the partnership marks a significant step in BTCC’s efforts to bring cryptocurrency closer to mainstream audiences and leverage the influence of world-renowned athletes to expand its global user base. The collaboration will focus on bridging the gap between professional sports and cryptocurrency through various marketing initiatives and fan engagement opportunities.

Beyond the basketball court, Jackson Jr.’s love for music and fashion further infuses his lifestyle and cultural relevance of elite sporting excellence and next-generation finance. Through the integration of a highly secured platform, Jackson Jr. and his fans are able to focus on what matters most – the action on the court and their passionate hobbies off it.

Jackson Jr.’s fans can look forward to learning more about the player through engaging content while also having the chance for greater fan engagement with Jackson Jr. through BTCC. The partnership throws the spotlight on BTCC’s key features such as futures trading and copy trading.

“I’m very excited to join the BTCC family. They’re not just another crypto brand—they’ve been in it for over a decade, and that kind of consistency means something to me. I’ve always believed in doing the work, staying disciplined, and thinking long-term, whether that’s in basketball or building your future. Partnering with a platform that shares that mindset is a natural step for me and I look forward to this journey,” said Jackson Jr. of the partnership.

In an industry where trust, discipline, and long-term vision matter, Jackson represents exactly the kind of leader BTCC wants to build with.
