EWR Digital, a Houston-based digital marketing agency, bought a Houston Texans suite with cryptocurrency, making the franchise the first NFL team sell a suite through digital currency.

The Texans entered into a partnership this season with BitWallet, a local cryptocurrency company. It allows fans to purchase single-game suites with cryptocurrency using BitWallet, which converts crypto into dollars.

“We are proud to partner with BitWallet to offer an exciting option for our fans who are looking to enjoy Texans gameday in one of our suites,” team president Greg Grissom said. “BitWallet is a perfect collaborator as we continue our efforts to move our organization forward in new and innovative ways.”
