He describes the NBA outfit as most popular team in China — Chinese Hall of Famer Yao Ming played for the Rockets — and a legendary basketball club with global recognition.

“We’re excited to work with AntPool as a conduit in the U.S. for their ever-growing business,” added Rockets vice president of corporate development John Croley. “The Rockets are always looking to stay ahead ofthe curve with technology both on and off the court and AntPool’s prowess with crypto currency makes for agreat partnership.

This phenomenon requires a lot of awareness and proper education in order to encourage reasonable adoption. Efforts such as these are becoming more popular in the industry and also seem to be delivering expected results.
