The Winklevoss brothers have assumed co-ownership roles alongside McCormack, who acquired the club in 2021. This marks the largest single investment ever made into a football club in the United Kingdom outside of the professional leagues, according to a press release.

文克萊沃斯兄弟與麥考馬克一起擔任共同所有權角色，麥考馬克於2021 年收購了該俱樂部。投資。

The investment will be channeled towards the development of a new training center, fostering local talent, and bolstering support for girls' and youth football programs.

這筆投資將用於開發一個新的培訓中心、培養當地人才以及加強對女孩和青少年足球項目的支持。

The Winklevoss twins drew parallels between Real Bedford's unassuming beginnings and the rise of Bitcoin in a post on X, a social media platform. They expressed their belief that "Real Bedford — powered by bitcoin and Peter’s leadership — has the ability to defy the odds, upset the establishment, and dethrone incumbents."

另一項重大進展是，區塊鏈公司唯鍊和終極格​​鬥錦標賽（UFC）公佈了合作的最新成果：嵌入 NFC（近場通訊）晶片的格鬥手套。這些晶片有雙重用途：身份驗證和粉絲參與。

To commemorate the launch, the company announced that UFC President Dana White had minted an exclusive initial set of 25 gloves for prominent individuals, including Joe Rogan, a renowned commentator.

為了紀念這款手套的發布，該公司宣布 UFC 主席 Dana White 為包括著名評論員喬·羅根 (Joe Rogan) 在內的知名人士鑄造了一套獨家首套 25 隻手套。

「雖然改進後的手套可以更好地保護運動員，但集成的由VET 驅動的晶片提供了一種提供不可變記錄使用情況的方法，並確保收到手套的球迷收到經過區塊鏈驗證的正品產品，防止詐欺並保留其價值，」唯鏈在X上的一篇貼文中表示。
