The Argentina Football Association’s ARG token has emerged as the leading soccer fan token by trading volume, according to CoinMarketCap.
Significant Market Growth
Defending champions Argentina have advanced to the finals of the Copa America tournament, more than doubling the market value of the ARG token. The token’s price has surged by 107% to $2.32 following Argentina’s 2-0 victory over Canada. This marks its highest level since May 30, with a 70% increase in the past 24 hours alone. Its market value has now soared to $27.85 million, making it the second-highest among soccer fan tokens, though it remains below the record $32.4 million reached before the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Leading Trading Volumes
The ARG token is also the most heavily traded among fan tokens. Its 24-hour trading volume stands at $23.57 million, nearly four times higher than that of the Paris Saint-Germain fan token, which has the highest market value among soccer tokens.
Dominant Trading Pairs
The ARG-Turkish lira (ARG/TRY) pair listed on Paribu, a centralized exchange, accounted for 88% of the total trading volume in the past 24 hours. In contrast, the ARG-chiliz token (ARG/CHZ) pair listed on Chiliz.net contributed just 0.17% of global activity.
The Role of Chiliz and Socios.com
Chiliz.net is the trading platform for sports and entertainment tokens partnered with Chiliz ($CHZ) and Socios.com. The Argentine Football Association partnered with Socios.com, a fan-engagement platform powered by the Chiliz blockchain, to issue the ARG token in 2021.
Unique Opportunities for Token Holders
Holders of the ARG token can access exclusive team activities, experiences, and VIP services, such as meeting the team’s players and visiting the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires, a stadium known for its rich history. Fan tokens like ARG represent the intersection of blockchain technology and sports, allowing market participants to gauge the financial and economic impact of major sporting events.
