With the Champions League playoffs done and dusted, the field for the last-16 is set and Fan Token traders are eagerly eyeing potentially juicy matchups ahead of Friday’s draw (11:00 GMT).
The correlation between on-pitch results and on-chain sentiment has been in evidence lately, with title races intensifying and knockout playoffs causing euphoria and heartbreak in equal measure. So, which Fan Tokens have seen the biggest moves? Let’s dive in to track the latest SportFi action.
$PSG Pops as Paris Saint-Germain Secure UCL Progress
Defending champions advance to the last-16 despite late drama vs Monaco. Trade $PSG on MEXC now.
PSG secured passage to the last-16 of the UCL after a dramatic 2-2 draw against Monaco on Feb. 25 (5-4 aggregate). Monaco took a first-half lead through Maghnes Akliouche to level the tie at 3-3, but two quickfire PSG goals after Monaco went down to ten men rendered a stoppage-time equalizer irrelevant.
Although they were strong favourites to win the match, the nature of the game was reflected in the markets as the $PSG token climbed to $0.757 from a price of $0.730 on matchday morning (+3.7%). As for 24hr trade volume, it rose to $2.5m, a jump of 85.1% from the day prior. Friday’s draw will determine whether PSG face Barcelona or Chelsea next.
Paris Saint-Germain face Le Havre away this Saturday (Feb. 28), and given they are just two points above Lens, they need a positive result to stay top of Ligue 1.
$ASM Climbs 6.2% Before Monaco’s European Dream Ends
Before hope was extinguished, the Monaco Fan Token ($ASM) pumped 6.2%. Trade $ASM on MEXC now.
Monaco came agonizingly close to recording a huge upset against PSG, having drawn level on aggregate by half-time of their second leg. Amid hope of UCL progression, there was a sharp intraday move for $ASM, its value climbing from $0.096 to $0.102 (+6.2%).
Despite putting up a heroic fight, history repeated itself as Monaco had a man sent off and PSG were able to claim the victory despite conceding a late equalizer. At the time of writing, a day after the game, 24-hour volumes for $ASM stand at $184,534, more than double yesterday’s figure of $90,432 (+104%), although the aforementioned gains have been erased.
With European football now over, Monaco can shift focus to Ligue 1 where they lie in 8th place. Fan Token traders may view $ASM as undervalued if they can climb into a coveted European spot.
Juventus Fan Token ($JUV) Surges Then Falls After Galatasaray Rollercoaster
Juventus mounted a heroic comeback but ultimately crashed out of Europe as speculators traded the volatility. Trade $JUV on MEXC now.
Juventus produced a memorable second-leg display against Galatasaray in the UCL playoff on Feb. 25, roaring to a 3-0 lead after 90 minutes to level the tie 5-5 on aggregate. As the Allianz Stadium erupted, traders reacted swiftly, driving $JUV to $0.654 from a value of $0.613 that morning (+6.2%). Volume also exploded to $7.4m the next day, up a massive 289% from 24 hours earlier.
Alas, two extra-time goals from Galatasaray secured the Turkish club a 7-5 aggregate win in one of the all-time great UCL battles. The value of $JUV has subsequently fallen, although with no more continental distractions, Juve can now concentrate on Serie A, where they lie four points adrift of a UCL-clinching fourth spot. Savvy traders may see value if the Old Lady can build some domestic momentum.
Inter Milan Fan Token ($INTER) Proves Resilient to UCL Exit as Serie A Dominance Continues
Despite crashing out of Europe, the Nerazzurri are tightening their grip on the Scudetto as $INTER makes big gains. Trade $INTER on MEXC now.
European football royalty Inter Milan suffered a stunning UCL playoff exit on Feb. 24, losing 2-1 at home to Bodø/Glimt (5-2 aggregate). Despite this ignominious defeat, the Inter Milan Fan Token ($INTER) has shown tremendous resilience: from Feb. 18 (the day they lost 3-1 to Bodø in the first leg) to Feb. 26, its value rose 20.7%.
Why did this happen? Well, because AC Milan’s defeat to Parma on Feb. 22 helped extend Inter’s Serie A lead to a possibly unassailable ten points. Little wonder $INTER trade volumes responded, hitting $8.7m on Feb. 23.
Although the value of $INTER dipped 7.2% between Feb. 22-26, the outlook remains overwhelmingly positive. With Europe over, the club can lock in domestically in their bid to deliver another Scudetto. They host Genoa on Saturday (Feb. 28) and it seems likely that traders will continue to speculate on domestic dominance. The question is, can players put the UCL disappointment behind them?
Barcelona Regain La Liga Top Spot as $BAR Sentiment Turns Positive
Barça reclaimed top spot at the weekend after a shock Real Madrid defeat, while UCL last-16 draw looms. Trade $BAR on MEXC now.
Barcelona leapfrogged bitter rivals Real Madrid at the weekend, after the latter suffered a shock defeat away to midtable Osasuna. This result, coupled with Barcelona’s routine victory over Levante, helped the Barcelona Fan Token ($BAR) jump from $0.488 on Feb. 21 to $0.554 on Feb. 22 (+11.9%), with volumes soaring to $18.7m, compared to $1.2m the day before.
Already through to the UCL last-16, Barça will face either defending champions Paris Saint-Germain or underdogs Newcastle United in the next stage. Domestic action, meanwhile, resumes on Saturday (Feb. 28) when they host Villarreal.
Although Real Madrid don’t play until Monday night, Barcelona will expect their rivals to respond to the Osasuna loss, and so know nothing less than a win is needed to maintain their one-point lead.
Looking further ahead, Fan Token traders are bound to have their eyes on Barcelona’s match against Atlético Madrid next Tuesday (Mar. 3), when Blaugrana will attempt to overturn a 4-0 first-leg deficit in the Copa del Rey semifinal.
Arsenal Fan Token ($AFC) Holds Steady Amid Premier League Dominance
Gunners maintain their Premier League lead as $AFC value stays strong despite Manchester City breathing down their necks. Trade $AFC on MEXC now.
Arsenal have been Europe’s form team this season, having topped the Champions League group with eight wins from eight and been top of the Premier League since September. Mikel Arteta’s men are currently six points clear in England, though Manchester City have a game in hand.
Last weekend, Arsenal recorded a vital victory over Tottenham in the north London derby, a result that saw the Arsenal Fan Token ($AFC) rise from $0.348 on matchday morning to $0.359 (+3.1%), with volumes hitting $3.4m. However, back-to-back league draws (Feb. 12/18) had triggered sharper drops of 5.6% and 6.9%, highlighting how sensitive $AFC is to dropped points.
This Sunday (Mar. 1), the Gunners host Chelsea with a win likely to sustain momentum and trading interest – particularly if Manchester City drop points on Saturday.
Manchester City Fan Token ($CITY) Rockets After Pep’s Men Stretch Unbeaten Run
City continue to pile pressure on Arsenal as SportFi traders eye another Premier League for the men in blue. Trade $CITY on MEXC now.
While Arsenal have dropped points in games against Brentford and Wolves, Manchester City are increasingly looking like a well-oiled machine, having gone unbeaten in their last eight fixtures (7 wins, 1 draw). Naturally, these results have been reflected in the markets: Between Feb. 6 and Feb. 26, the Manchester City Fan Token ($CITY) surged from $0.490 to $0.677 (+38.1%). As for 24hr trade volumes, they peaked at $8.4m on Feb. 13 after Arsenal dropped points at Brentford.
City have already qualified for the UCL last-16, where they’ll face either Norwegian underdogs Bodø/Glimt (the last team to beat them, on Jan. 20) or the mighty Real Madrid. Domestically, they face Leeds United away on Saturday (Feb. 28) and like Barcelona need a win to stay firmly in the title hunt. Needless to say, a positive weekend could fuel more upside for $CITY traders.
