KuCoin, a global cryptocurrency exchange, has announced a multi-year partnership with professional golf icon Adam Scott, appointing him as its first Global Brand Ambassador. The three-year agreement, valued in the eight figures, marks the company’s first formal step into professional sports.
The partnership aligns KuCoin’s strategic push to strengthen brand recognition and trust globally, particularly as the crypto industry matures and expands into mainstream sectors. By selecting Scott, a Masters Champion widely regarded for his professionalism and consistency, KuCoin aims to connect with broader audiences through a sport long associated with discipline, precision, and credibility.
“This partnership with Adam Scott marks KuCoin’s first official crossover into sports. His reputation, resilience, and consistency make him the ideal partner as we expand our global horizons. We are proud to welcome Adam Scott into the KuCoin family,” said KuCoin CEO BC Wong.
For KuCoin, the collaboration reflects a broader effort to associate its platform with values it sees reflected in Scott’s career: trust, reliability, precision, and innovation. The company has been positioning itself at the forefront of developments in digital finance, including tokenization, decentralized finance (DeFi), and increasing regulatory clarity.
Adam Scott, who has a long track record of brand partnerships, sees this new role as an extension of his interest in emerging technologies and financial empowerment.
“It is an honour to partner with KuCoin as their first Global Brand Ambassador. I firmly believe that cryptocurrency will play an important role in the future of finance, and I am personally interested in how it empowers people worldwide. I am looking forward to working closely with KuCoin as we build something special together,” Scott said.
The agreement also underscores KuCoin’s ambitions to elevate its public profile beyond traditional crypto circles. As digital assets continue their journey toward mainstream adoption, the partnership illustrates a growing trend of convergence between established sports figures and blockchain companies seeking to build credibility and global reach.
While financial details of the deal remain undisclosed beyond the eight-figure valuation, the move sets a precedent for similar collaborations between crypto platforms and prominent athletes.
