The Staples Center Will Be Renamed the “Crypto.com Arena” Because We Are Condemned to Eternal Damnation

The home arena of the Los Angeles Lakers is getting a new name.

Even if cryptocurrencies disappear by then, the ugly new name will stay for the next 20 years.

It's just kidding, of course. We pledge our loyalty to the new overlords.

The name was changed.

According to the LA Times, the name change could be the largest venue naming rights deal in American history. The building is being renamed by the website after two decades.

Kris Marszalek, the CEO of Crypto.com, told the LA Times that people will look back at this moment as the moment when cryptocurrencies crossed the chasm into the mainstream. This is a brilliant move from the guys at AEG, because the next decade is going to be about cryptocurrencies.

The Anschutz Entertainment Group also owns the LA Kings and LA Galaxy.

Weird future.

Professional athletes were not as happy.

It will be weird because it is the same location as when I was a kid, but it is called something else.

The Singapore-based exchange is called Crypto.com. The company has made sponsorship deals with Formula One, UFC, and NHL teams, Al Jazeera reports.

The Staples Center has hosted a number of high visibility concerts and events.

It's not clear whether cryptocurrencies and professional sports are a match.

It is time to say goodbye to the Staples Center. Hello, LA Times.

Florida City is giving away cryptocurrencies to all residents.
