Claim 1: “What followed was a sponsorship boom that put crypto brands on shirts, around stadiums and alongside some of the biggest clubs in the game.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided contains one specific instance of a crypto brand (Kraken) signing a shirt sleeve sponsorship with Atlético de Madrid. While this supports the general premise of crypto brands on shirts, the other search results are irrelevant (one is about a video game and another is a general app description). There are not enough independent sources in the provided evidence to reach 'corroborated' status, but the claim is not unsupported.
