The Jazz today named CoinZoom the team's official cryptocurrency platform and NFT marketplace. The partnership will enable fans to scan a QR code at their Vivint Arena seats and access the team's NFT drops with the CoinZoom app. Every seat in the arena will have a QR code later this season for this and other new features. CoinZoom also will receive signage in the arena, a presence on the Jazz app, social media, merchandise, trivia contests, crypto giveaways and radio spots. Last September, the team launched the JazzXR program that combined the franchise’s initial NFTs with access to a live experience with Jazz Owner Ryan Smith.
