Through this partnership, Nexo becomes the Official Crypto Partner of the Australian Open and the Summer of Tennis, which includes the United Cup, Adelaide International, Brisbane International, and Hobart International. The move underscores the company’s long-term vision and its leadership role at the crossroads of top-tier sports and digital assets.
