Crypto currency exchange Bybit signs on two additional professional gaming organizations today on an esports sponsorship spree. Joining Bybit's esports universe today are Astralis, global frontrunners and Denmark's national treasure in esports, and independent player-owned organization Alliance, hailing from Sweden.

The partnerships mark the second and third instalments of Bybit's global esports offensive, following its newly gained status as the exclusive crypto currency platform partner of NAVI ("Natus Vincere") on Aug. 18. The deals deepen the bond between two fastest-growing communities of shared demographics.

Combining Astralis' uncontested popularity and dominating Counter-Strike team, and Alliance's decade of experience and the sponsorship deals elevate Bybit's presence to over 11.3 million global fans and followers of professional tournament teams and serial winners of world titles in esports.

The scope of the partnerships will go beyond branding rights on jerseys, twitch.tv screens, and digital channels. Bybit will take an active part in planning player engagements, carbon neutrality initiatives, inclusive financial education, and various awareness campaigns on campus over the next few seasons. There are also whispers of collaborative sessions between the esports superstars.

Bybit says the partnership will be up close and personal. Talent from both Astralis and Alliance will be leading troops in Bybit's annual gamified crypto trading competition, the World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2021.
