Fan Tokens exist at the intersection of sport and blockchain, and just as sport never really sleeps, the chain operates around the clock. SportFi trading allows users to buy and sell tokens according to their perception of the market sentiment around a particular club asset. As for what influences this sentiment, the drivers are numerous, from major on-field results to star signings, injury news, and the success or failure of competing teams.
Over the past week, football action has switched from domestic to international competition as teams vie for supremacy in their home leagues and on the continent. As ever, Fan Token traders have been closely following developments and acting accordingly. Here’s a recap of what happened in SportFi over the past seven days.
$BAR Gains 5% in 3 Days with Vital UCL Draw
Barça maintain La Liga edge before claiming a crucial point in UCL first leg with Newcastle United. With three home games looming, will $BAR go higher? Trade $BAR on MEXC now.
Barcelona bounced back from their exit in the Copa del Rey semifinal to score a 1-0 away win over Athletic Club (Mar. 7), a victory that preserved their four-point lead at the league summit. A second-half strike from 18-year-old top scorer Lamine Yamal sealed the three points, and it was Yamal to the rescue again midweek, when the youngster’s late penalty secured a 1-1 away draw at Newcastle Utd in the Champions League round-of-16 (Mar. 10).
With Barcelona looking good in La Liga and now clear favourites to see off Newcastle Utd in next week’s second leg (Mar. 18), the $BAR Fan Token has unsurprisingly made some impressive gains in recent days, rising from $0.497 on Mar. 7 to $0.522 on Mar. 10, a climb of 5%.
Having been on the road in their last two matches, Barcelona now have three games at Camp Nou to look forward to, starting with a league match against struggling Sevilla this Sunday (Mar. 15). If they can continue on their current trajectory, might trader accumulation see $BAR’s climb continue?
$AFC Shows Strength as Arsenal Return to European Action
Competing on four fronts, the Gunners are locked in as $AFC continues to climb. Trade $AFC on MEXC now.
Heading into their UCL last-16 first leg with Bayer Leverkusen (Mar. 11), Arsenal’s Fan Token ($AFC) had climbed 17.1% in the previous seven days, a mark of growing belief in the club’s Premier League title credentials. It didn’t seem to matter that during that period there had been just one game, a 2-1 win over outmatched Mansfield Town in the FA Cup (Mar. 7). It was all about the feel-good factor.
A late penalty from Kai Havertz secured a 1-1 draw for Arsenal on German turf on Wednesday night, and though they’re now favourites to qualify with the home leg to come, there’s work to be done. Clearly, traders expected a Gunners win: the token jumped 1.6% in the hours before kickoff, then slid 2.8% before climbing again.
Arsenal resume league business at home to Everton this Saturday (Mar. 14) before concluding their UCL match with Leverkusen on Tuesday at the Emirates (Mar. 17).
$CITY Slides After Man City Suffer UCL Humbling
Pep’s men cruised past Newcastle Utd in the FA Cup but came up short in Madrid, as $CITY bore the brunt. Trade $CITY on MEXC now.
Just as $AFC had climbed prior to the UCL round-of-16, $CITY had fallen – by 10.1% in seven days to be precise. This despite a commanding 3-1 win away at Newcastle United in the FA Cup (Mar. 7), a victory that kept City’s quest for four titles alive. Then came the Real Madrid game in the Spanish capital (Mar. 11).
City had beaten Real 2-1 at the Bernabéu in the group stage, but there was no repeat on Wednesday night as a first-half hat trick from Federico Valverde illustrated the home side’s considerable firepower, even despite the absence of Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham. $CITY sentiment turned bearish in the aftermath, falling from $0.591 to $0.571 (3.3%).
Pep Guardiola’s stars now have a mountain to climb in next week’s second leg at the Etihad (Mar. 17). Before that, they face West Ham away in the league (Mar. 14) in a game they must win to keep pressure on league leaders Arsenal.
$ASM Jumps 6.7% Before AS Monaco Continue Hot Streak with PSG Win
AS Monaco gain revenge for their UCL exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain, stunning the French champions at the Parc des Princes. Trade $ASM on MEXC now.
The biggest upset of last weekend in Europe’s top five leagues was undoubtedly AS Monaco’s 3-1 victory over reigning French and European champions Paris Saint-Germain, a result that was preceded by an $ASM pump in the Fan Token charts.
Having been knocked out of the UCL by PSG in last month’s playoffs, AS Monaco gained a measure of revenge by securing back-to-back Ligue 1 wins over Luis Enrique’s men. Interestingly, Friday’s win (Mar. 6) was even more comprehensive than the 1-0 home victory AS Monaco had recorded back in November.
Between Mar. 4 and Mar. 5, the value of $ASM jumped 6.7%, from $.089 to $.095, before dropping in the subsequent hours. Trade volumes also surged in that period, from $73k to $188k (157.5%). Interestingly, bullish sentiment did not continue despite Monaco’s upset over PSG, with the club still lying seventh in the table. That could all change in coming weeks, with just six points separating Monaco from third-placed Marseille.
$PSG Destroy Chelsea But Monaco Defeat Damages Token Sentiment
Paris Saint-Germain bounce back from domestic defeat to dismantle Chelsea in the Champions League, but $PSG mood is uncertain. Trade $PSG on MEXC now.
Paris Saint-Germain’s shock defeat to AS Monaco on Friday night (Mar. 6) allowed title rivals Lens to close the gap in Ligue 1, pulling just a point behind the table-toppers after beating Metz 3-0 on Sunday. Between Mar. 5 and Mar. 8, the value of the $PSG token predictably slid 8.3%.
After $PSG bottomed at $0.667 on Mar. 8, it recovered 2.5% in the next four days, during which time Luis Enrique’s men beat Chelsea 5-2 in the Champions League (Mar. 11). It was the sort of display that suggested the Parisians could make a deep run in this year’s competition and, who knows, perhaps even retain the title.
With Sunday’s home game against Nantes postponed, PSG will return to action against Chelsea in London on Tuesday night (Mar. 17). If they can secure passage to the quarterfinals, particularly given the modest upswing of recent days, $PSG may be primed to pump.
AC Milan Claim Derby Bragging Rights as $ACM Makes Gains
A single goal was enough for AC Milan to win the derby, renewing hopes of a late title charge and $ACM appreciation. Trade $ACM on MEXC now.
Last week, previewing the Derby della Madonnina, we noted that “AC Milan simply must win to have any realistic prospect of winning this year’s Scudetto.” And win they did, courtesy of a first-half goal from left-back Pervis Estupiñan. In conquering their rivals, AC have renewed hopes that they can win the league after all, although they still have work to do given Inter’s seven-point lead.
Despite $ACM trade volumes surging past $3m on the day of their previous match against Cremonese, Sunday’s Milan derby (Mar. 8) didn’t spark a similar frenzy: trade volumes were sub $1m pre- and post-match, although they did climb from $675k on Mar. 8 to $956k a day later (41.6%). The value of the AC Milan Fan Token ($ACM) also rose 5% between Mar. 8 and Mar. 10.
With ten games left, it’s not inconceivable that AC can knock out Inter: Polymarket gives AC a 9% chance while making Inter 91% favourites. With all games now ‘must-win’ for AC, they travel to Rome to face Lazio this Sunday (Mar. 15).
