As fan tokens surge double-digits ahead of the World Cup, here’s what you should know about them
On the eve of the World Cup, held this time in Qatar and therefore taking place from November to December, a number of cryptocurrencies attached to the national teams received a boost in their quotations.
According to CoinMarketCap, for the last seven days, the prices of the tokens of the national teams of Argentina and Portugal experienced the greatest rise, not least, of course, due to the presence of two superstars of soccer in recent decades, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. So, ARG’s price increased by 38.7% over the last week, while POR’s price increased by 32.2%.
An additional trigger for these tokens could be the fact that they were issued by Chiliz and promoted by Binance at the same time. In addition, the Argentine national team has the exchange as a primary sponsor.

Smaller, but still double-digit, growth was shown by the quotations of the Spanish national team token, SNFT, which rose by 16.5% over the period under review. Then there are the cryptocurrencies of the two South American national teams, Peru and Brazil. Despite the star-studded line-up of the latter, with Neymar at the helm, BFT quotations are up just 5%, while FPFT is up more than 8.2% in the last seven days.
