But each iteration had limitations that compounded.

Enter web3.

Tis the season for football and falling in love 🏈

For the second year in a row the biggest game in American sports falls on the Sunday before Valentine’s Day.

But that’s about where the similarities end. Naturally, this year we’ll be watching different teams, in a different location, and with a slew of different commercials...

That’s right. This year we won’t see any crypto ads during the big game.

According to the Associated Press, unlike last year when crypto companies captivated millions with their 60 second spots – dubbing it the Crypto Bowl – there will be “zero representation in that category” this year.

But don’t count the digital asset space out just yet. A few web3 companies are poised to represent NFTs this Sunday.

So get your wings and beverage of choice ready. It’s still anybody’s game.
