Stablecoin heavyweight Tether just tabled an all-cash bid to grab full ownership of Italian football powerhouse Juventus. The move marks a notable foray into traditional sports by the crypto giant. However, there's a catch—the Agnelli family, who currently hold the controlling stake in the Turin club, aren't exactly rolling out the welcome mat. The ruling Italian family appears reluctant to hand over the keys, signaling this acquisition battle could get interesting. Whether this deal gains traction or hits a wall remains to be seen, but it's yet another sign of how major players in crypto are looking beyond blockchain to diversify their portfolios.
