The NRL has announced that the deal will include signage promoting Swyftx at big matches, including the finals series, State of Origin matches and all-star matches.
The NRL’s controversial video review board will also be renamed “The Swyftx Bunker” for the 2023 season.

On Thursday, NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo also said Swyftx could potentially promote the game to a wide audience.
The Swyftx deal is just another example of Crypto partnerships increasingly creeping into Australian sport, with deals already made in a number of European and US leagues, teams and venues.
Last year, Crypto.com signed the rights to rename LA Lakers home venue, previously The Staples Center.
Crypto.com also recently featured an advertisement with movie actor, Matt Damon.
