18-29
Cryptocurrency dominates this demographic due to its innovative nature, high growth potential, and alignment with technological familiarity. Younger individuals are drawn to the excitement and accessibility of crypto compared to traditional investments like stocks, which are seen as moderately safe but less dynamic. Bonds and real estate hold minimal appeal due to their slow returns and high entry barriers. This makes crypto a powerful tool for engaging younger, tech-savvy audiences in projects like token launches.
30-45
Crypto adoption remains strong as a diversification tool and hedge against traditional systems, with this age group balancing innovation with stability. Stocks play a significant role in their portfolios as reliable, long-term investments, while bonds and real estate are included for added stability and tangible income sources. Crypto’s ability to offer flexibility and growth potential resonates with this demographic’s dual focus on security and innovation, making it a strategic addition to fundraising models.
46-60+
While less engaged with crypto, this demographic shows moderate interest, particularly in established and less speculative coins. Stocks dominate their portfolios, while bonds are valued for stable income and low risk. Real estate is a popular, safe asset for retirement planning. Crypto’s relevance here lies in offering controlled, low-risk opportunities to complement existing investment strategies and engage those cautiously exploring digital assets. For those 60+, adoption is lowest and perceived as too volatile and complex.
Crypto Adoption GAINING
SoFi Stadium
SoFi, a fintech company integrating cryptocurrency into its platform, engages in sports sponsorships. The stadium serves as the home venue for the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers (NFL) and has hosted major events such as Super Bowl LVI (2022) and the College Football Championship Game (2023). It is also set to host the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2028 Olympic Games. While primarily a fintech platform, SoFi promotes cryptocurrency-related services.
Crypto.com Arena
The Staples Center, home to the Los Angeles Lakers (NBA), Clippers (NBA), and Kings (NHL), was rebranded as Crypto.com Arena in December 2021 after the crypto exchange Crypto.com secured the naming rights in a deal valued at $700 million. This is one of the most high-profile crypto sponsorships in the sports world.
On the Formula 1 circuit, Crypto.com also entered into a multi-year partnership with the Aston Martin team. Tezos, a blockchain platform, became the official sponsor of Formula 1 in 2022. Tezos is also a prominent partner for various F1 team sponsorships, including with Red Bull Racing, helping to integrate blockchain and NFT technology into the sport.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) signed a major sponsorship deal with Crypto.com, which included branding on fighter uniforms and promotional assets. This deal with UFC has significant visibility in sporting events.
Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks, previously owned by billionaire Mark Cuban, accept several cryptocurrencies for purchasing tickets and merchandise, including Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), USD Coin (USDC), Gemini Dollar (GUSD), Paxos Standard (PAX), and Binance USD (BUSD). Despite a selling 73% of the Dallas Mavericks, Cuban plays a key role in integrating crypto, which are processed through BitPay, supporting over 100 different wallets.
Mainstream Adoption in 2025
Visa and Mastercard have been making moves to expand their crypto-related services. Both companies are partnering with crypto firms to offer digital wallet services, stablecoin transactions, and blockchain integration for payments. Visa recently partnered with USDC issuer Circle to integrate stablecoin payments into its global payment network. Amazon has reportedly begun testing Bitcoin payments for a select group of customers, allowing them to purchase certain products with Bitcoin. This move follows the increasing interest in cryptocurrencies as a payment method, with the company quietly laying the groundwork for broader crypto adoption.
Major Players Integrate Crypto
JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs are increasingly offering cryptocurrency services to their institutional clients. JPMorgan launched its crypto trading desk, allowing large clients to trade digital assets directly. Goldman Sachs has also expanded its crypto asset management and blockchain advisory services for its clients. Twitter (now rebranded as X) is moving towards integrating crypto services, with Elon Musk indicating plans to incorporate a payment platform that includes crypto, such as Dogecoin and Bitcoin. The platform may eventually allow users to tip content creators with crypto and use digital assets for purchases. PayPal announced the launch of its own stablecoin, which further accelerates the mainstream adoption of crypto, as PayPal’s vast user base can now use crypto for transactions, making it easier to adopt and transact with digital assets.
Interested in Getting Started?
Bringing your organization into the future of digital fundraising starts with a clear, structured process. Whether you're raising capital, optimizing tokenomics, or ensuring full Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) compliance, our streamlined approach simplifies the journey. Here’s how it works:
01
Initial Consultation
We start with a one-on-one call to understand your organization’s goals and fundraising needs. This is where we assess your eligibility for tokenization and explore how a token offering can support your objectives. We're also happy to communicate and answer questions via email if that's your preference. Begin with an informal discussion and ask us anything.
02
Agreements & Onboarding
To move forward, you’ll sign a Non-Circumvention & Token Agreement, which formalizes our role as the referring entity and ensures AlumniDeFi receives its 7% token allocation for facilitating the introduction and setup process. This agreement secures the referral relationship before you begin direct discussions with the token platform.
03
Platform Strategy Call
Meet with the token platform team to align your goals with the best token issuance strategy. This discussion covers compliance, structuring, and platform capabilities to ensure a smooth fundraising process.
04
Pre-Issuance Planning
Legal Compliance & SEC Registration – The attorneys handle all required SEC filings, regulatory approvals, and compliance structuring. Tokenomics & Token Modeling – The token platform collaborates with the legal team to structure token supply, distribution, and vesting in accordance with SEC regulations. Fundraising Compliance – The attorneys and token platform ensure your capital-raising structure (e.g., Reg D, Reg S, Reg A, and others) meets all SEC requirements.
05
Capital Raising Structure
Now it’s time to choose the best capital-raising structure for your organization. Primary Offering – A fully compliant security token sale platform with built-in KYC & AML services for accredited and non-accredited investors. Custom fundraising options tailored to your financial goals.
06
Token Creation & Distribution
Your token is minted, smart contracts are deployed, and distribution to investors begins. At this stage. Smart contracts ensure security, compliance, and automated token distribution. Investors securely receive their tokens via secure wallets.
07
Secondary Market Access
Once the vesting period (if applicable) is satisfied, investors will have the ability to trade their security tokens on approved secondary markets. This provides liquidity and flexibility while maintaining compliance with any required holding periods.
08
Establishing the Affiliate
After the vesting period (if applicable), your organization still holds a significant portion of tokens but cannot sell them directly in the secondary market under Rule 144. To access liquidity while remaining compliant, establish an affiliate entity to hold and manage retained tokens. This entity is structured as a subsidiary that is affiliated but operates independently.
