Western United have announced an exciting partnership with Japanese crypto exchange company JPEX, who will join the Club as a Gold Partner ahead of the 2021/22 season.
JPEX will also sponsor United defender and reigning Player of the Season Tomoki Imai throughout the upcoming campaign.
Western United’s General Manager of Commercial, Chris Speldewinde, praised the new partnership which shows the club is agile in the modern marketplace.
“Cryptocurrency and different ways of trading currencies have become such huge things recently, and to have this partnership with JPEX is massive for the Club,” he said.
“It shows a really positive attitude from the Club, that we are dynamic, reacting to the real world and putting our best foot forward in a number of different sectors with our partnerships.
“JPEX is a company right at the forefront of this technology and we are really excited to work with them, and particularly as well to see them support Tomoki this season.”
JPEX began working in cryptocurrency as recently as July 2020 and have already grown to be one of the leading players in the field.
The company’s values are aligned with those of Western United and are a big reason as to why this partnership has taken place.
“The Foodbank charity event gave us an unforgotten impression as WUFC is assisting the community, just like we are doing to help people with money,” JPEX General Manager Vincent Le said.
“As a Japan based company, we grew up quickly in the past year in Asia, we are willing to enlarge our business and we are seeking more exposure in Australia. Hence, partnering with WUFC will be our steppingstone to let more and more Australian audiences know us.
“The Crypto market, especially under the COVID period, is becoming the mainstream of the world’s financial market. We hope we can make more Australian’s know more about what Crypto is.”
JPEX operates with a professional team that ensures the security of all of its clients’ buying and trading, with the slogan ‘fix the money, fix the world’.
Currently operating in the Asian-Pacific market, JPEX strives to expand globally and become one of the five largest exchanges in the world.
