This is significant for both Zytara Labs and AS Roma. When the DigitalBits blockchain is connected with the squad as a result of this partnership, the club will become the first professional soccer club to do so. These two organizations will collaborate on official AS Roma blockchain-based digital assets as part of their relationship. As a result, the club will now take digital collectibles as well as the XDB cryptocurrency as new payment methods.
