Major Dutch football club PSV, also known as PSV Eindhoven, announced Tuesday that it will hodl bitcoin with the help of crypto exchange Anycoin Direct. The professional sports club from Eindhoven, Netherlands, plays in the Eredivisie, the top tier in Dutch football.

Anycoin Direct, a local startup from the Eindhoven area, will be PSV’s “official partner for the next two seasons,” the club confirmed, elaborating, “The main goal is to grow awareness of crypto and Anycoin Direct in Europe.” Anycoin Direct offers the buying and selling of 28 cryptocurrencies.


Frans Janssen, Commercial Director at PSV, commented: “The possibilities and the future that the world of cryptocurrency offers is very promising. As a club in the heart of the Brainport region, we are always innovating, cryptocurrency fits well into this picture.” PSV’s announcement adds that immediately after signing the deal with Anycoin Direct, Janssen created bitcoin wallets to facilitate the partnership deal.
