According to photos shared on X by photographer Andrew Leyden, multiple crypto firms including Polymarket, Exodus, VeChain, and Stake will sponsor and display logos at UFC Freedom 250, held on Sunday (June 15) on the White House South Lawn as part of President Trump's 80th birthday celebration.
Polymarket is sponsoring a community-focused award recognizing military personnel and first responders. Exodus was named the event's official payments partner and will activate fan experiences. World Liberty Financial, co-founded by Trump's son Zach Witkoff, is a presenting sponsor and will provide $250,000 in USD1 stablecoin for Fight of the Night bonuses. The UFC and Crypto.com, the co-presenting partner, previously announced that Fight of the Night winners would receive up to $1 million in CRO tokens. On Friday, a federal judge blocked a legal challenge to prevent the event from proceeding on federal grounds.
