St. Petersburg-based Metasport Arena, which is creating an ecosystem for sports enthusiasts and athletes, has entered into a new strategic partnership with Chicago-based company web3 Burrst.

“At Burrst, we believe in the future of the metaverse, specifically what Metasport Arena (MSA) is creating and how it will benefit young athletes on a global scale. The creative approach athletes will take in this digital world allows fans to engage like never before. Excited for this partnership to come to fruition,” Burrst CEO and founder Grant Sapkin said in a statement.

Burrst has a niche in serving young athletes who are able to monetize their NIL (name, image and likeness) by providing them with global exposure and fan engagement through the web3 environment.
