News Summary:

Metaplanet plans to acquire 95.7% of Super League for a consideration of 2100 BTC and $2.5 million in cash, according to reports published on August 18, 2026. This development follows a period of discussions regarding a potential $60 million investment over five years from Australia's National Rugby League (NRL), which would have seen the NRL own 50% of the league. On August 9, 2026, the proposed NRL investment faced difficulties due to financial viability concerns, as stated by ARLC chairman Peter V’landys, despite support from Super League clubs like Wigan and Warrington. Earlier that day, reports from Australia indicated that talks between the two competitions, ongoing for approximately a year with meetings in the UK, Australia, and Las Vegas, were nearing a "dead end," suggesting the NRL might withdraw its investment. On August 7, 2026, former Super League General Manager Blake Solly, now South Sydney Rabbitohs CEO, had expressed belief in the competition's value, should an NRL deal materialize.
