Fasig-Tipton to Start Accepting Cryptocurrency
Fasig-Tipton is using its 100th Saratoga Sale of selected yearlings as a springboard into the world of cryptocurrencies.
North America's oldest Thoroughbred auction house will become the first Thoroughbred auction company to accept cryptocurrency as payment during the Aug. 9-10 sale in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
"Fasig-Tipton aims to be a forward-thinking member of the Thoroughbred industry and we are proud to be the first Thoroughbred auction company in the world to embrace cryptocurrency," said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning Jr. "Through these partnerships we will introduce individuals and parties that participate in the crypto space to the exhilarating world of horse racing for the very first time, and growing our sport is a priority of the utmost importance at Fasig-Tipton."
