Jason Francis has announced Asseterum Crypto
Currency as the main sponsor for 2018 World Seniors Snooker Championship. The blue
riband event of the new World Seniors Tour will be held at The Baths Hall in
Scunthorpe between the 20th and the 24th of March in 2018.
Assetereum is
a Yorkshire based company who have had huge success in the utilities and online
shopping sector through crypto.
Former world
snooker champion Joe Johnson is an adviser to the board and they are keen to
make their cryptocurrency affordable for anyone.
Anyone can own some of their crypto coins for as little as £10 when it launches on Wednesday.
As well as being the title sponsor, they are awarding 10,000 Assetereum crypto currency coins to the winner and 5,000 to the runner up.
