The recent use of crypto in sports has triggered the global expansion of sports and teams as cryptocurrencies are now widely adopted in the sports sector.

最近加密貨幣在體育領域的使用引發了體育運動和團隊的全球擴張，因為加密貨幣現在已在體育領域廣泛採用。

馬克庫班 (Mark Cuban) 擁有的達拉斯小牛隊 (Dallas Mavericks) 是另一支使用加密貨幣支付門票和運動商品的 NBA 球隊。

Last month, Cuban announced that they would be accepting Dogecoin as payment for tickets and merchandise. Shortly after that, Cuban confirmed that they immediately received more than 20,000 Dogecoin transactions making the Mavericks the largest Dogecoin merchant in the world.

上個月，古巴宣布他們將接受狗狗幣作為門票和商品的支付方式。此後不久，庫班證實他們立即收到了超過 20,000 筆狗狗幣交易，使小牛隊成為世界上最大的狗狗幣商人。

Before the Dogecoin announcement, Mavericks already allow Bitcoin payments for tickets and merchandise through a partnership made with BitPay in 2019.

在狗狗幣宣布之前，小牛隊已經在 2019 年與 BitPay 建立了合作夥伴關係，允許用比特幣支付門票和商品。

Not only is crypto being used to allow fans to purchase tickets and merchandise and for clubs to pay players’ salaries and transfer fees recently, but it has also gained momentum in the NFT sector.

最近，加密貨幣不僅被用來允許球迷購買門票和商品，以及俱樂部支付球員的工資和轉會費，而且它在 NFT 領域也獲得了發展勢頭。

The NFT market for trading cards and collectibles is a multi-million dollar industry enabling fans to immortalize sporting moments in pictures and other various mediums.

交易卡和收藏品的 NFT 市場是一個價值數百萬美元的行業，使球迷能夠透過圖片和其他各種媒體將體育時刻永垂不朽。

The National Basketball Association (NBA) is a major player in the NFT space through its online digital collectibles marketplace, the NBA Top Shot. The NFT mania has become a good source of revenue for basketball teams, with the NBA reportedly closing deals over $500 million, according to The Verge.

美國國家籃球協會 (NBA) 透過其線上數位收藏品市場 NBA Top Shot 成為 NFT 領域的主要參與者。根據 The Verge 報道，NFT 熱潮已成為籃球隊的良好收入來源，據報道 NBA 達成的交易金額超過 5 億美元。
