The organization agreed to not only sponsor the car, but to pay Cassill’s full salary in cryptocurrency, breaking new ground for the payment method.

The sponsorship raises a variety of questions. Will other businesses, pro sports leagues and organizations follow suit and dip their toes into crypto?
