From Swag To Scotch, Ryder Cup Inspires Wave Of Brand Tie-Ins

From Swag To Scotch, Ryder Cup Inspires Wave Of Brand Tie-Ins

The post From Swag To Scotch, Ryder Cup Inspires Wave Of Brand Tie-Ins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A look at the Spirit of the Cup collection Devereux X Johnnie Walker To clinch victory in the Ryder Cup, a team needs to reach the 14.5-point threshold. But for the parade of brands that have hitched their wagon to the biennial U.S.A. vs. Europe showdown, the eventual winner is really irrelevant. All that matters is harnessing hype and fan engagement to connect with customers and drive brand impact. Ryder Cup worldwide partner Citi has rolled out new television ads positioning golf’s variability as a metaphor for its own global reach. While basketball courts, Olympic pools, and tennis courts are precisely uniform in size, the campaign notes, golf is “never the same twice” thanks to ever-changing fairways and greens. The point is that the hole-to-hole and course-to-course dynamism of the sport mirrors the bank’s ability to adapt across 180 markets. Building on brand activations opportunities, other companies are also leveraging the Ryder Cup to engage consumers through exclusive merchandise and localized experiences. In a Ryder Cup–themed collaboration that hit this a.m. Johnnie Walker has partnered with Devereux Golf, a culture-forward golf label that blends streetwear sensibilities with inclusive, modern design, on a ‘Spirit of the Cup’ collection. The drop features polos, tees jerseys, and caps that vibe-check the transatlantic tussle of the storied tournament while also nodding to NYC street style to reflect the host city’s influence. “Designing this collection, we wanted to bottle the energy of both the rivalry and New York itself,” Bert Brunner, co-founder and designer at Devereux Golf, explained. “The city is bold, expressive, and high-energy, so we leaned into streetwear, oversized graphics, and color blocking that mirrors the intensity of the competition. But the bigger idea was about bringing golf into today’s cultural language…Together with Johnnie Walker, we created a collection that feels at home…

ChatGPT-5 picks two cryptos to turn $100 into $1,000 by 2026

ChatGPT-5 picks two cryptos to turn $100 into $1,000 by 2026

The post ChatGPT-5 picks two cryptos to turn $100 into $1,000 by 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As the cryptocurrency market navigates another phase of bullishness despite recurring volatility, certain assets are likely to deliver notable profits for investors in the coming months. With the market flooded with options, selecting the right combination can be challenging. To this end, Finbold turned to OpenAI’s latest artificial intelligence platform, ChatGPT-5, to identify two cryptocurrencies with the potential to turn a modest $100 investment into $1,000 by 2026. XRP One contender is XRP. Unlike many cryptocurrencies that rely solely on retail speculation, ChatGPT noted that XRP is already experiencing real-world adoption through partnerships with major players such as Santander.  At the same time, the removal of its regulatory overhang in the United States has added further momentum, with legal clarity paving the way for a potential spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). According to the model, an ETF approval would be a watershed moment, opening the door for institutional capital and retirement funds to flow into XRP, significantly expanding its market presence.  By press time, XRP was trading at $2.83, down 0.8% in the past 24 hours and almost 6% over the past week. XRP seven-day price chart. Source: Finbold Solana (SOL) Another promising asset identified by the AI tool is Solana (SOL). Positioned as a viable alternative to Ethereum (ETH), Solana already supports decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, NFTs, and payments.  It has also attracted integrations with global companies like Visa, Shopify, and Helium, signaling adoption across both consumer and enterprise sectors. Additionally, the upcoming Firedancer upgrade is expected to further enhance Solana’s performance by reducing congestion and cementing its position as one of the most scalable networks in the industry.  Similarly, if regulators approve a Solana ETF, the resulting wave of institutional inflows could push its valuation to new highs, similar to the surges seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

NFL Fandom In Brazil In Early Stages But Growing In Popularity

NFL Fandom In Brazil In Early Stages But Growing In Popularity

The post NFL Fandom In Brazil In Early Stages But Growing In Popularity appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A general view prior to a 2024 game between the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles in Sao Paulo, Brazil. (Photo by Wagner Meier/Getty Images) Getty Images Before the Kansas City Chiefs’ final preseason game, quarterback Patrick Mahomes was juggling a football with his feet. His former Chiefs teammate and current Chicago Bears kicker, Cairo Santos, remarked, “Hey, Pat, you warming up for Brazil?” “I’m trying to adapt to the country,” Mahomes replied. Soccer indeed still does reign supreme in Brazil, but football — or futbol Americano — is making strides to catch up. “It’s huge,” Santos, the first and only Brazilian to ever play in an NFL game, exclusively shared. “It’s the fastest-growing sport in Brazil.” Right now, American football ranks behind soccer, basketball, volleyball, surfing, MMA and Formula One racing and is near the bottom of the top 10 most popular sports in Brazil. But the goal is to be in the top five in five to seven years, according to Luis Martinez, the general manager of the NFL’s office in Brazil, which was established a year ago. Though American football in Brazil doesn’t have the following it does in Mexico, England or Germany, the NFL is making a concentrated push because of Brazil’s large population (212.6 million, including 11.9 million in Sao Paolo, which is the setting for Friday’s game) and large social media consumption (144 million active users as of January 2025). “The potential is there,” Martinez exclusively shared. “But we still have a big, big, big way to build.” Grass Roots Initiatives Friday’s game will be the second annual NFL game in Brazil, but an effort is being made at the grass roots level — especially in flag football. School programs are being developed with the Secretary of Education of the government, and two…

Inflation Here To Stay- It’ll Get Worse

Inflation Here To Stay- It’ll Get Worse

Let’s be real: Inflation is a problem, and it’ll continue to be so for the time being. Who knows? Maybe it’ll be an even worse case scenario, such as hyperinflation. I personally believe that hyperinflation will take place at some point in the U.S. When will it happen? I don’t know, but it could come sooner than later. What’s happening right now may not be a big deal, but I think there will be long-term implications. So will the Big Beautiful Bill raise inflation? It may not go into effect right away, but there’s potential for inflation to go up in the long-run. Whatever the long-term implications will be, it’ll impact everyone to a certain degree or another. We saw that happen with recent legislation that happened, which will only make the inflation problem worse. That’s what I want to discuss in this post. The Big Beautiful Inflation Act of 2025 Earlier this month, the U.S. Congress passed big legislation revolving so-called tax cuts and stimulus to the economy. I’m referring to the “One Big, Beautiful” law that went into effect in early July. Basically, it’s an extension of the tax cuts that were passed in 2017. Along with that, there are other so-called cuts that are set to take into place. Not to mention, this law brings on more spending, more debt, and more importantly, it’ll lead to more inflation in the long term. Without going into the details, I see it as nothing beneficial for citizens or for the country as a whole. There’s no need to discus the politics of it, or which side is right or wrong. That’s not what matters at all- What matters is the long-term implications, which people are not yet aware of. The fact that spending will go up, along with rising inflation, is concerning to say the least. Although it doesn’t benefit everyone, it benefits a selected few. Or the idea of the “rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer.” That continues to be the case for this legislation that’s now become law. It’ll be interesting to see how it will all play out in the long run. I’m not too optimistic about it, neither should most people be. Where things stand in the political environment, it seems that there’s nothing to be excited about. What I Think About It For me, I try to tune out from the political garbage that’s taking place right now. It’s all noise. However, what I will take into consideration is that there will be short-term victories for now. That is, if you participate in investing or trading in the stock market, you can potentially capitalize on what’s to come. For Wall Street (or the stock market in general), there will be some nice gains in the market. Whatever type of market bull runs we get, it can benefit those who participate now. Maybe not so for Main Street, but Wall Street will benefit in the short-term. Regarding the long-term? I have no idea, but I don’t feel too optimistic about it. It doesn’t look good in the coming months and years, but it doesn’t mean all is lost. That’s why I look at news events like this as little opportunities to take advantage of. If the market will have some nice bull runs the next few years, it’s those times to take advantage of them. It’s why I’m doing in my journey of trading options. Whether the market is up, down, or going sideways, I look to generate income either way. If the market is up, that’s nice. If the market is down, I won’t make as much money. But, I still keep that cash flow coming in. If the market is sideways, that’s the most ideal market to be in. So, whatever happens from any type of legislation, or news, I still benefit. It’s all about looking at the big picture. There will be some winners, and a lot of losers in the meantime. I take advantage of it because I know inflation is real, and it’s only going to get worse. ________________________________- Why not take advantage of trading to fight the inflation beast? The One Big Beautiful Law will soon be known as big beautiful, everlasting inflation. I want to tackle inflation with confidence, knowing that I can create income faster than the rate of inflation. That’s what options trading is all about, and it can be for you as well. What Else Can You Do? No matter what’s happening around the world, or some legislation gets passed that has an impact on your life, you can still prosper. When trading options, you can make money in either market direction. The best part is the lost rate is around 2%- So there’s a 98% win rate with the strategy I practice. Our goal is to never lose money, while growing it further to prosperity. I’ve been trading options for a year now, and I have not lost money ever since I started trading. When you start doing it and see success, you want to do more of it. The more success you see, the better chances you’ll continue to see long-term success later on. If options trading is something you’re interested in learning more about, I wrote an eBook on the topic, and how you can leverage it to your advantage. If that’s something you want to make the most out of, I encourage you to grab your free copy by signing up below. Plus, when you sign up for my email list, you’ll get some other cool bonuses as well. So check it out and look forward to seeing you on the other side.
