Ferrari NV’s Formula One Team has ended its partnership with blockchain technology company Velas Network AG, as deals between sports companies and firms in the beleaguered cryptocurrency sector continue to crumble. 

“Unfortunately, the agreement with Velas has been terminated early by us,” Ferrari said in a statement to Bloomberg News. The company didn’t provide additional detail, saying it doesn’t comment on matters that concern a dispute, litigation, or both.
