Fans watching the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12 will reportedly not see a plethora of ad spots for cryptocurrency companies as they did in 2022.<\/p>\n

According to a Feb. 6 Associated Press report, there had been four potential deals with crypto firms for commercials costings roughly $6 to $7 million in the 2023 Super Bowl, all of which fell apart following the FTX bankruptcy filing in November. Fox Sports\u2019 executive vice president of ad sales Mark Evans reportedly said there would be \u201czero representation\u201d from major crypto companies on Feb. 12, when roughly 100 million people could be tuned in to the football game.<\/p>\n

During Super Bowl LVI in 2022, companies including FTX, eToro, Crypto.com and Coinbase debuted ads. The FTX commercial, which aired roughly nine months prior to the firm filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried being charged with fraud, featured comedian Larry David telling customers: \u201cdon\u2019t miss out\u201d on crypto. <\/p>\n

David was later included in a class-action lawsuit alleging he promoted the crypto exchange to investors without performing any due diligence. Other celebrities who backed crypto companies including Matt Damon \u2014 for Crypto.com \u2014 and tennis star Naomi Osaka \u2014 for FTX \u2014 have likewise faced criticism from users. <\/p>\n
