The United Kingdom financial regulator warned Premier League soccer clubs that sponsorship deals with unauthorized crypto firms could trigger legal liability and money laundering risks. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued the warning Wednesday morning after identifying firms breaching financial promotion rules. For investors, the crackdown threatens a primary revenue stream that recently surpassed broadcasting income for top-tier clubs.
