FTX and MLB struck a baseball deal in June that involves FTX branding appearing on all umpire uniforms starting at the All-Star Game in Denver on July 13.
Now, in a new twist, the two firms have announced a competition called “MLB Moonblasts Pick 'Em.” The winner will receive $100,000 worth of bitcoin or cash if they can predict which player will hit the longest home run during the rest of the season. The competition ends Saturday at 2:00 p.m. ET and is open to U.S. residents only.
