Dash’s Jeff Smith explains how cryptocurrency could be the future for fighter compensation

Standing in the center of the cage, victorious after going five grueling rounds with Douglas Lima, newly crowned Bellator welterweight champion Rory MacDonald was graced with his hard-earned championship belt. What may have been missed in that coronation was that “The Red King” was also representing a new brand, one that could become a major player in the MMA fighter compensation landscape.

That brand is Dash, a growing cryptocurrency company that emphasizes anonymity and speed as a means to differentiate itself in a field where privacy and lengthy transaction confirmation times can be an issue.
