In August 2025, OG, one of the world’s top esports teams, and VortexTrade, a next-generation crypto asset trading platform, officially finalized their strategic partnership. This cross-industry collaboration has quickly drawn attention from both the esports and crypto communities, opening up a new path for the deep integration of the two sectors.
As a legendary team with multiple international championship titles, OG has built a global fanbase of over 10 million through its dominant performances in top-tier tournaments like DOTA2 over the past decade. In 2023, OG, in partnership with Socios.com, issued the OG Fan Token, which has become a benchmark project at the intersection of fan economy and blockchain technology. Since its launch, the token has achieved a trading volume exceeding $1 billion.
Meanwhile, VortexTrade, launched in 2024, has rapidly risen to become one of the top 20 global crypto trading platforms, serving users in over 150 countries. Its success is driven by an AI-powered smart risk control system (capable of intercepting abnormal transactions in 0.01 seconds) and cross-platform asset interoperability technology.
Through this partnership, OG’s strong IP influence and VortexTrade’s robust technological foundation will be leveraged to explore innovative directions such as the digitization of esports-related benefits (e.g., tokenizing player-signed collectibles) and the financialization of fan economy (e.g., dividend mechanisms for token holders). The collaboration is expected to drive over 5 million new users to the industry.
