Good Morning FinTech, 26 November

Good morning Everyone,

And happy Friday! The week is finally done - what a blast it was 💥 But don’t relax just yet as I’ve prepared 3 super exciting FinTech stories for today. Let’s dive straight into them:

Adidas + Coinbase. Probably nothing… 🤷‍♂️

The announcement 📣 Adidas Originals, a brand of the German sportswear clothing firm Adidas that is particularly focused on sneakers, has announced a partnership with the crypto exchange giant Coinbase. The news was announced on Twitter.

“We partnered with @Coinbase. Probably nothing,” Adidas Originals wrote in a Wednesday tweet.  Coinbase affirmed the partnership with “gm @adidasoriginals. Welcome to the party, partner!”

We’ve partnered with @coinbase. Probably nothing.

The bells rang… 🔔 The partnership follows an announcement made earlier that Adidas will launch an ‘Adi-verse’ in partnership with The Sandbox, a toolbox that lets users people develop blockchain-based virtual worlds.

The Sandbox @TheSandboxGame

Hey @adidasoriginals, impossible is nothing in the Metaverse. What if we invite all of the original thinkers and do-ers to design our future together? https://t.co/xQrfAWHBky https://t.co/fTCaqf6fho

SAND, the native cryptocurrency of The Sandbox is currently down almost 17% though. Good time to buy? 🤔
