Utorg and Tapia: The history behind the partnership
In padel, you can't control what your opponent does, but you can control your own position and your own shot. That's precision. In crypto, you can't control the market, but you control your own funds and keep your assets secure. Tapia built a career on mastering the part of the game he can control. Utorg is built on giving users the same thing with their money.
"Agustín is exactly the kind of athlete we wanted representing Utorg," said Daniel Stolberg, Co-founder at Utorg. "His entire career is proof that control and precision win, and that's the same idea behind the product we're building for our users.”
This partnership gives Utorg access to the Premier Padel tour audience, one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, with the company actively expanding its global presence, and marks the company's first move into sports sponsorship as part of a broader effort to bring self custody and everyday crypto usage to new audiences.
"There's a version of control in padel that nobody sees, holding your ground before the point even starts. Utorg gave me that same feeling with my money," commented Agustín Tapia.
