Football fever is sweeping the globe. From the European Qualifiers to World Cup preparations, fan engagement has become the driving engine of the sports industry and it’s bringing unprecedented momentum to on-chain assets. At the center of this movement is Chiliz (CHZ), the leading fan token ecosystem reshaping how fans interact with their favorite teams.

As the world’s first blockchain focused on sports and entertainment, Chiliz now supports over 70 fan token projects across 23 countries, giving fans real on-chain voting power for the first time. According to official data, the number of fan token holders is growing at an annualized rate of 215%, with average daily trading volume surpassing €150 million in 2024.

Fan tokens are becoming a key gateway for new on-chain users and CHZ remains the core token powering this entire ecosystem.

Amid this surge, MEXC, a global leader in crypto trading, has joined forces with Chiliz to launch a million-dollar fan event. Whether you’re a football fan, crypto enthusiast, or DeFi veteran, this event offers a full suite of interactive experiences from trading and staking to spin-and-win games and Futures challenges.

Let’s take a closer look at the five highlights of this fan-powered celebration.

2. Participation Guide: Watch Football and Earn Rewards

This event offers a variety of ways to participate, so every user can easily find a starting point that suits them. We’ll walk through strategies for both new and existing users to help you maximize your rewards.

2.1 New Users: A Step-by-Step Strategy from Entry to High Returns

For users new to MEXC, this event offers a low-barrier, high-reward entry path designed for safety and immediate returns. The core concept is to start with basic deposits and trades, then expand to staking and advanced tasks, layering profits with each step. Below is the recommended participation route, which can be adjusted according to your own risk preference:

Make a Net Deposit and a Basic Trade to Get Guaranteed Rewards

Start by making a net deposit of 100 USDT, then buy CHZ or other eligible tokens in the Spot market. Once your trading volume reaches 100 USDT, you’ll receive 200 CHZ. Combined with zero trading fees, this step comes at almost no extra cost. The CHZ you earn can also be staked later for additional profit. This offer is limited to the first 3,000 new users, so act fast before spots run out.

Stake CHZ to Lock In High APR

New users can stake 3,600–10,000 CHZ for 3 days and earn up to 400% APR. That’s about 3.28% interest in just three days, much higher than traditional products, with lower risk due to the short staking period. For example: Stake 10,000 CHZ to earn about 328 CHZ, stake 5,000 CHZ to earn about 164 CHZ, or stake 3,600 CHZ to earn about 118 CHZ. This short-term, stable return opportunity is ideal for boosting profits after completing the initial deposit and trading events. (Be sure to check early redemption rules and payout times.)

Trade Spot to Share 1 Million CHZ in Rewards

Complete 5,000 USDT in Spot trading on eligible pairs to join the 1,000,000 CHZ reward pool, with up to 6,000 CHZ per user. Choose pairs with strong liquidity and market depth to reduce slippage, and take advantage of 0-fee trading to minimize costs. This, when combined with the first two steps, creates a powerful compound effect: deposit to get airdrops, stake to earn interest, then trade to share the reward pool.

Join the CHZ All-Star Spin for Extra Prizes

After completing the above tasks, you’ll automatically qualify for the lucky spin with no extra cost and stand a chance to win an iPhone Air or AirPods Max.

For those with a higher risk appetite, you can also try the Futures trading challenge: reach 3,000 USDT in trading volume to receive 50 USDT in Futures bonuses. It’s a low-barrier, easy way to boost leveraged returns. In short, this route is designed for new users to start steadily, earn more at every step, and make the most of all available rewards.

2.2 Existing Users: Maximize Returns Based on Risk Appetite

Existing users can focus on high trading volumes and leaderboard competitions to achieve amplified returns. The following are two recommended strategies, conservative and aggressive, tailored to suit different levels of risk tolerance.

Conservative

For users with a lower risk appetite, this approach prioritizes steady marginal gains through low-cost trading, bonuses, and referral incentives.

• Low-cost participation: Take advantage of 0-fee CHZ Futures trading. Complete a total Futures trading volume of 20,000 USDT to share a $50,000 bonus pool, with up to $50 in Futures bonuses for each participant.
• Stack additional rewards: Join the All-Star Spin for a chance to win an iPhone Air or AirPods Max.
• Boost earnings through referrals: Invite friends to join the event and earn up to 100 USDT in additional rewards according to the event rules.

Aggressive

For advanced traders and high-risk enthusiasts, after completing the conservative tasks, the focus shifts to the leaderboard competition. Concentrate on high-frequency and leveraged Futures trading to boost total volume and secure higher-tier bonuses. Be mindful of market volatility and liquidation risks.

• Leaderboard Rewards:
  • Rank among the top 1,000 traders by total Futures trading volume to share a $108,200 prize pool.
  • Rank in the top 100 to earn Futures bonuses ranging from $200 to $6,000, based on your position.

3. Why Choose MEXC to Join the Chiliz Ecosystem

As fan tokens and blockchain become increasingly intertwined, and with next year marking another FIFA World Cup year, the Chiliz ecosystem narrative may resurge, bringing massive alpha opportunities. With its deep liquidity, 0-fee trading, and generous event rewards, MEXC is the ideal platform for users to gain early exposure and deeply participate in the Chiliz ecosystem. These advantages not only make trading smoother and more cost-efficient, but also unlock additional income, turning every trade into a rewarding experience while you enjoy the game.

MEXC’s deep liquidity ensures efficient execution for large orders and minimizes slippage risk. For example, according to CoinGecko data as of November 12, 2025, the BAR/USDT spread on MEXC is just 0.08%, far lower than top-tier exchanges. The ±2% depth reaches around $37K, with $10K-level buy and sell orders on both sides, meaning a $5K–10K market order can be filled within a 2% range, keeping slippage under control. Meanwhile, 0-fee trading drastically cuts costs, especially for users who frequently trade various fan tokens. Combined with bonus rewards and lucky spins, these advantages further amplify marginal gains and help users fully capture the value of the Chiliz ecosystem.

4. Conclusion

MEXC’s collaboration with the Chiliz ecosystem is not a passive move, it’s a forward-looking strategy that proactively positions MEXC at the forefront of the sports token economy. By integrating trading and fan engagement into a quantifiable reward system, MEXC bridges participation with tangible incentives.

As global attention and on-chain activity around fan tokens typically surge during major events like the World Cup, the platforms that deliver smoother execution, lower costs, and clearer earning paths will capture the next wave of market growth. MEXC’s partnership with Chiliz represents a proactive response to this trend, setting the stage for users to trade, engage, and profit seamlessly within the sports and blockchain fusion era.
