Welcome to the first ever SportFi (Sport Finance) roundup, part of a new weekly series where we summarize what’s been happening in the football world, discuss how it’s affecting the fast-growing Fan Token market, and look ahead to the upcoming games.
In recent years, numerous giants of the football world have embraced Fan Tokens, which have become the official digital assets of clubs like Barcelona ($BAR), Paris Saint-Germain ($PSG), Manchester City ($CITY), and Juventus ($JUV). These tokens – which are all listed on MEXC – give keen traders and loyal supporters an opportunity to combine sporting passion with market analysis.
The growth of both SportFi and prediction markets reflects the crypto industry’s maturation, with users parlaying insights about real-world sporting events into market moves. Of course, making accurate predictions – about sport, elections, ETFs – isn’t a stroll in the park, so it pays to do your homework.
With another action-packed round of fixtures coming up, let’s jump in and look at some Fan Tokens worth keeping an eye on.
Juventus ($JUV): Seeking Old Glories
Three points look likely against relegation battlers Fiorentina. Will the $JUV token make similar gains? Trade $JUV on MEXC now.
One of our newest-listed Fan Tokens, $JUV is backed by Juventus, the most decorated Serie A club in history. Currently lying sixth in the table, La Vecchie Signora (The Old Lady) has built some decent momentum of late, notching wins over Udinese and Cremonse before settling for a goalless home draw with local rivals Torino last time out.
A trip to Florence beckons this Saturday, with three points expected against bottom-placed Fiorentina – a team yet to claim a league victory from 11 matches. Although the price of $JUV has tracked sideways for a while, daily trade volume remains high – over 3.5 million at the time of writing – and it could be poised for a breakout, particularly if wins over Fiorentina and Bodø / Glimt in the midweek Champions League tie are delivered.
Napoli ($NAP): Title Battle Continues
Italian champions could return to the Serie A summit this Saturday, an event that may strengthen confidence in the Napoli token. Trade $NAP on MEXC now.
Reigning Serie A champions Napoli may have suffered a bruising 2-0 defeat to Bologna last time, but there are reasons for both the club and $NAP holders to be optimistic. After all, Gli Azzurri are still sitting fourth in the league, just two points off table-toppers Inter Milan. They’re also at home to 13th-placed Atalanta this Saturday, and because the teams above them (Roma, Inter and AC) all play on Sunday, three points will return them to the Serie A summit.
Six months ago when Napoli won the Scudetto, $NAP breached $2 for the first time in a year – and with it now hovering around $0.34, having lost steam in recent months, the prospect of significant upside could rest on the team replicating former glories.
November is a huge month for Diego Maradona’s old club: after Atalanta they’ve got a home tie against Qarabağ in the Champions League, where they’re sitting just inside the playoff cutoff at 24th, before a huge league showdown against second-placed Roma in the Eternal City. All of which makes $NAP one of the hottest Fan Tokens to watch in November.
Paris Saint-Germain ($PSG): Back to the Top
Parisian giants are in pole position domestically and fighting to defend their Champions League crown. Can the club and token maintain momentum? Trade $PSG on MEXC now.
Paris Saint-Germain became the first French club to win the continental treble last season, adding the Champions League to their fourth straight Ligue 1 title and Coupe de France. Luis Enrique’s men have made a strong start to the 25/26 campaign, sitting top of Ligue 1 and winning three from four in the Champions League. In their last match on November 9, they claimed a hard-fought 3-2 away win over Lyon thanks to a stoppage-time header from João Neves.
Given the club’s status as the current kings of European football, the $PSG token is a popular one to hold, ranking fifth in the league table of Fan Tokens by market cap and boasting $2.9 million in 24hr volume. So, how might upcoming action prime the asset for upward momentum?
This Saturday 22nd, PSG anticipate another three points from a home tie against 12th-placed Le Havre. Should that materialize, confidence in $PSG could strengthen – all the more so if a win over Spurs in the Champions League follows midweek.
Incidentally, the Parisian club’s token offers some tremendous utility: next month’s Champions League tie against Athletic Bilbao will see some $PSG holders given the opportunity to jet to Spain with Kvaratskhelia and co to enjoy the match-day experience up close.
Barcelona ($BAR): Eyeing First Place
Like Napoli, Barcelona can go top with a win at the weekend as the title race intensifies. Doing so would certainly be welcomed by $BAR holders. Trade $BAR on MEXC now.
Barça may have lost the biggest tie in world football last month, sliding to a 2-1 defeat at a raucous Bernabéu, but after a 4-2 win over Celta Vigo last time, they’re snapping at the heels of league leaders and bitter rivals Real Madrid. That victory – which came courtesy of a Robert Lewandowski hat trick – saw the value of $BAR jump by 2.2% in 24 hours.
This Saturday, Barça are at home to seventh-placed Athletic Club. If Polish talisman Lewandowski and teenage wonderkid Lamine Yamal are in the mood, they could fire Blaugrana to the summit of La Liga, since Real Madrid don’t play until the following day (away to mid-table Elche).
Might a comfortable Barça victory result in a nice bounce for $BAR holders – at least until Real kick off on Sunday?
Everton ($EFC): Building Momentum
With confidence building, could Everton fire themselves back into the top half of the Premier League with a win over Man Utd? Trade $EFC on MEXC now.
Merseyside club Everton are in a shiny new 52,700 capacity stadium this season, but they’re relying on old manager David Moyes to deliver the goods on the pitch. While they aren’t competing for the title, the Toffees sit thirteenth, just three points off the top half of the table. Having comfortably dispatched Fulham 2-0 most recently, a Monday night meeting with Manchester United at Old Trafford awaits (November 24).
As a comparatively low-cap Fan Token (sub $600k), it doesn’t take a huge amount of action to push $EFC up or down. The prospect of an upset victory over the Red Devils, then, will have traders salivating.
Manchester City ($CITY): On the Rise
Pep’s men have their mojo back, and they’re breathing down Arsenal’s neck at the business end of the Premier League. Confidence in the club’s $CITY token also looks to be rising. Trade $CITY on MEXC now.
$CITY tokens don’t just grant holders access to VIP rewards and club promotions, they provide an opportunity to share in the success of Pep Guardiola’s all-attacking team. Currently second in the table, City recorded a resounding win last time, pummelling Premier League champions Liverpool 3-0 in Pep’s 1,000 match as a manager.
The days preceding the Liverpool showdown saw the value of $CITY rise from $0.63 to $0.69, a sign perhaps that traders anticipated three points at the Etihad. Although it’s dropped back to $0.62, City will look to ride recent momentum to an away win over a struggling Newcastle United on Saturday, after which they meet Bayer Leverkusen at home in the Champions League.
Hodlers will be hoping positive form pulls the $CITY token back towards dollar parity in the weeks to come.
Crystal Palace ($CPFC): Easy Win in Prospect?
If results go their way, the Eagles could conceivably go fourth after the next round of fixtures. Will the token soar, too? Trade $CPFC on MEXC now.
Crystal Palace made history in May, winning the first major trophy in its 120-year history with a 1-0 win over Man City in the FA Cup. As a result, expectations have been raised for the 25/26 season and it’s safe to say the Eagles are delivering.
In addition to dumping Liverpool out of the League Cup, last month Palace won two out of three in the UEFA Conference League and are currently sitting mid-table in the Premier League.
Although Palace could only manage a goalless draw at home to Brighton in their most recent match, this Saturday there’s an awayday at bottom-placed Wolves to look forward to. The only Premier League team without a win this season, Wolves have managed just two draws from eleven games and the Eagles will fancy consigning them to another chastening defeat.
The last time $CPFC went on a real tear was in late September and early October, a spell that saw Palace rack up wins over West Ham and Liverpool before cruising to a 2-0 victory over Dynamo Kiev in Europe. Although a rough October saw the token shed 40% of its value, strong results in early November have brought the feel-good factor back and buy signals may be flashing.
With Palace just two points off a Champions League spot, a win over struggling Wolves could provoke a spike in the value of $CPFC.
The Future of Fan Tokens
Because they’re backed by some of the planet’s biggest clubs, behemoths with truly global fanbases, Fan Tokens represent an important bridge between the Web3 and sporting worlds, pushing crypto into the public consciousness. By giving fans and traders ‘skin in the game,’ they let holders live and breathe every moment of pulsating action.
With dozens of Fan Tokens now available for trading, and their value often linked to team performance, player transfers, and wider market sentiment, the SportFi market is heating up nicely. Which ones are you eyeing?
