Peter Smith, CEO and co-founder of Blockchain.com, appeared on the Gameday Podcast in two episodes released in June and December 2025. He discussed the potential for blockchain technology to transform sports team ownership, suggesting that fan-owned clubs could become more common. Smith stated that "the most successful sports teams will be owned by their fans" and argued that using a crypto protocol or blockchain could make it feasible to administer millions of owners, as opposed to the current model of clubs like Real Madrid, which he noted has 80,000 members. He also proposed that paying players partly in tokens tied to a team's value could incentivize them to increase the team's worth. Smith also addressed Blockchain.com's sponsorship of the Dallas Cowboys, emphasizing the importance of personal relationships in such partnerships. He said that brands should "pick a sponsor that you actually enjoy seeing" and described having a good relationship with the Jones family, calling Jerry and Stephen Jones "phenomenal partners." He characterized sports sponsorships as "sports partnerships" where both parties work toward a common objective.

Notable quotes

“If you come into crypto with the mindset that you want to get rich fast, you will be destroyed. The most predictable path to success is sustained focused effort to do high quality things over a long period of time.”

“I think that Bitcoin has a phenomenal ability to find the exact market pathway that will blow out the most number of people. Bitcoin finds the maximum pain pathway.”

“With the Trump administration opening up the market, the U.S. is likely to issue a regulatory framework — my guess is a national charter — and that would change almost everything about how the crypto market looks today.”

“I think it's huge — the US endorsement has been the thing holding the crypto market back for the last four years; we've gone from not just an absence of resistance but sort of full-throated support, and my guess is you'll see a federal regulatory framework such as a national charter.”
