Ben Bilski (Bad Soden, Germany, 1988) holds the German record for the 200-meter hurdle swim after a short but successful career as a swimmer that led to a much more lucrative career as an entrepreneur. Bilski runs the investment social network NAGA, which sponsors Sevilla this year, and believes that cryptocurrencies are “an immediate future from which there is no turning back, for the economy and also for football.”
“There are other digital currencies and with the growth of the metaverse we are going to need all crypto, I’m sure. The financial system is overregulated and corrupt, while cryptocurrency means freedom. I never carry money with me, only mobile, watch and cards. Everything is going digital, not just money, “says this visionary, who started investing just after his twenties.

This is how he describes NAGA: “It is a social investment network. You can follow other people and see what they invest in in any market such as cryptocurrencies or the more traditional, and copy those investments, when you open them or when you close them. You can win together, that’s the basis: for every copy you receive, you earn money. There are many influencers in this world. On Instagram you gain followers and here you earn followers and money “
Bilski reveals to As that he has recommended José Castro, president of Sevilla, to tokenize the club. That is to say, he distributes it among the fans in tokens, a type of crypto holdings: “It is much better than going to the traditional Stock Exchange. I told the president, it makes a lot of sense to ‘tokenize’ a team when you have a lot of fans who want to be part of the club. “
To the founder and CEO of Naga, “You can tokenize the merchandising, part of the stadium or even the players. In this way, you let people participate in specific things at the club, in this case Sevilla, and make them feel an active part of the triumphs, sales and the improvement in infrastructures. You get investment and if it goes well, also benefits. “
