Against the backdrop of U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs drawing their largest daily inflows in three months, SportFi has had another fascinating week as we ease into the second half of the league season.
With the overall Fan Token market cap now sitting at $232 million, the industry continues to attract the attention of traders keen to combine an interest in sports with a passion for profit. Over the past week, Barcelona claimed a memorable Clásico win to defend their Spanish Super Cup title, Inter Milan opened a gap at the Serie A summit, and Manchester City dropped points for the third consecutive Premier League game.
So, how did these and other Fan Tokens respond? Let’s take a look and find out.
Barcelona Lift Spanish Super Cup as $BAR Token Makes Modest Gains
A defeat of arch-rivals Real Madrid fails to spark a trading frenzy, though Barça’s Fan Token is still trending upwards in 2026. Trade $BAR on MEXC now.
In our last update, we focused on Barcelona’s impressive start to the year, with a 2-0 defeat of Espanyol helping the Barcelona Fan Token ($BAR) climb 10.2% between Dec. 31 and Jan. 7. Since then, Hansi Flick’s men have hammered Athletic Club 5-0 in the Super Cup semifinal and beaten Real Madrid 3-2 in a repeat of last year’s final.
Sunday’s Clásico win (Jan. 11) was a thriller, with four goals in the first half setting up a tense finale. In the end, a 73rd-minute strike from Brazilian hitman Raphinha was enough to ensure Barcelona’s first back-to-back Super Cup win since 2011.
In other words, it’s “business as usual” in La Liga: Barça sit four points above Real Madrid, on the back of nine straight league wins – and another piece of silverware has been added to the trophy cabinet. On the Fan Token front, it’s been a topsy-turvy week: in the 48 hours before the game $BAR rose 2.2%, before dropping 3.3% then resuming a rise on Jan. 12. Overall, the Barcelona Fan Token is still up 6.2% over the last fortnight.
Inter Milan ($INTER) Extend League Lead, Fan Token Up 11.8% in Last Week
Despite a draw with Napoli, Inter Milan open up a three-point gap at the top of Serie A as Fan Token pumps. Trade $INTER on MEXC now.
A pulsating 2-2 draw with defending Serie A champions Napoli (Jan. 11) saw Inter Milan open up a three-point gap at the top of the table, after city rivals AC Milan drew at Fiorentina. Although Napoli succeeded in snapping their six-game Serie A win streak, Inter would have been content with the stalemate given AC’s stumble, and $INTER traders would’ve been even happier.
Over the last seven days, the value of the Inter Milan Fan Token ($INTER) has climbed by 11.8%, the draw with Napoli following a 2-0 defeat of Parma on Jan. 7. Over the last fortnight, $INTER is up 18.1%. Can this impressive momentum continue for the rest of the month?
AC Milan Lose Ground as Fan Token ($ACM) Falls 3%
Consecutive draws see AC Milan fall behind Inter, but the Rossoneri are still in the title picture. Trade $ACM on MEXC now.
Back-to-back 1-1 draws with Fiorentina (Jan. 11) and Genoa (Jan. 8) have handed the initiative to Inter, but AC Milan still haven’t lost in the league since August, and they’re only three points behind their rivals. Moreover, AC can focus their attention on domestic duties while Inter, Napoli, Juventus, and Roma must play midweek European fixtures due to their involvement in the Champions League and Europa League.
Nevertheless, AC’s recent draws have seen the value of the $ACM Fan Token drop 3% over the past week. If they can get back to winning ways at Como on Thursday (Jan. 15), then beat Lecce at the weekend, sentiment could flip ahead of a crunch tie with Roma on Jan. 25.
Napoli Fan Token ($NAP) Trends Upwards Despite Recent Draws
A brace from star man Scott McTominay rescued a point for Napoli, and the $NAP token is still going in the right direction. Trade $NAP on MEXC now.
Napoli’s 2-2 draw with Inter on Sunday followed another 2-2 stalemate with relegation battlers Hellas Verona on Jan. 7, but despite the dearth of wins, the $NAP token is showing signs of resilience.
At the time of writing, $NAP is up 2.5% in the last 24 hours (Jan 13-14) and 1.8% over the last seven days. Zooming out to look at the picture over the last fortnight, the value of the Napoli Fan Token has increased by 7.7%.
As has often been the case in the last year, Scott McTominay was the key Napoli player against Inter as the Scotsman equalised twice to save the side from defeat. Napoli are now four points behind Inter, and have a busy schedule of six matches before January is through.
Juventus ($JUV) Trade Volume Spikes 342% as Club Maintains Momentum
Juventus put five past Cremonese as $JUV trade volumes rocket. Trade $JUV on MEXC now.
Although they have played a game more than the three teams above them, Juventus are only four points off the Serie A summit and sent their rivals an emphatic message by thumping Cremonese 5-0 on Jan. 12. Now unbeaten in their last seven, Juve continue to be a dark horse in the much-discussed title race.
Interestingly, Juventus Fan Token trade volume rose dramatically pre-game, particularly between Jan. 10 and Jan. 11, when it surged to $6.2 million (+342%). As for the token’s value, it’s increased by a modest 1.2% over the past week, suggesting the Cremonese victory was, for the most part, priced in.
Juventus play Benfica, Napoli, and Monaco between Jan. 21 and Jan. 28, a run of games that could provoke another flurry of trading interest.
Surging Arsenal Fan Token ($AFC) Trade Volumes Cool After Liverpool Draw
The Gunners draw a blank against Liverpool, as trade volumes cause a big pre-match spike in the value of $AFC. Trade $AFC on MEXC now.
What goes up must come down. At least, if sentiment suddenly changes. This was illustrated perfectly last Thursday (Jan. 8), when Arsenal faced reigning Premier League champions Liverpool.
A victory would have heaped more misery on Manchester City, who have now drawn three consecutive league games. But it didn’t come, as Arsenal struggled to break down a resolute Liverpool side, the game ending goalless.
Between Jan. 7 and Jan. 8, $AFC trade volumes doubled to $8.2 million as the value of the Fan Token surged by 8.6%. It was as if traders were willing Arsenal to seal the win, one that would bring them a step closer to the Premier League title. When it didn’t materialise, the token’s value dropped almost as much as it had risen, falling 7.5% in the 24 hours post-game.
Thanks to Man City’s latest draw, the Gunners maintained their six-point lead at the top of the table, and player confidence was subsequently restored thanks to a 4-1 drubbing of Portsmouth in the FA Cup 3rd round (Jan. 11). The Arsenal Fan Token is up 17.6% since the turn of the year.
Traders Ride Volatility of Manchester City Fan Token ($CITY) During Mixed Week
Manchester City drop points again, before demolishing Exeter City 10-1 in the FA Cup as $CITY volatility rises. Trade $CITY on MEXC now.
Manchester City drew their third consecutive game on Jan. 7, a 1-1 stalemate with Brighton continuing their underwhelming start to the year. Since then, Pep’s men have dispatched Exeter City 10-1 in the FA Cup (Jan. 10) and cruised past Newcastle 2-0 in the League Cup semifinal (Jan. 13).
Volatility has been the watchword for $CITY traders over the past week. The draw with Brighton saw the token shed 6% of its value in the following 24 hours, before correcting to rise 7% between Jan 8. and Jan. 9. On the back of this run, trade volumes fluctuated between $4 million and $5 million, up from less than a million just a few days prior.
Don’t expect the volatility to die down: this Saturday (Jan. 17), City face a huge derby against Manchester United at Old Trafford. If they can use the Newcastle win as a springboard, they might go on another winning run (in December they won seven out of seven).
$PSG Fan Token Rallies after Shock Paris FC Defeat
Paris Saint-Germain bow out of the domestic cup, before the $PSG Fan Token rallies. Trade $PSG on MEXC now.
Last week, we reported on Paris Saint-Germain’s 2-1 league victory over newly-promoted Paris FC. This week, the roles of winner and loser were reversed as the underdogs shocked the world by ending PSG’s Coupe de France title defence in the last 32.
After beating Marseille on penalties in the Trophée des Champions on Jan. 8, PSG were stunned by their Parisian neighbours on Jan. 12, Paris FC eking out a 1-0 victory at the Parc des Princes. It must rank as one of the biggest upsets in French football history.
So, how did the Paris Saint-Germain Fan Token ($PSG) respond? In truth, the reaction was modest, the token’s value dropping just 1.3% in the 24 hours after the loss, followed by a 1.5% correction the following day. This swift bounce-back suggests $PSG traders view the defeat as a mere blip, and that there is plenty of value in the token ahead of upcoming European and league games.
Coupled with Barcelona’s modest gains after the Super Cup win, the $PSG price chart illustrates how league business often trumps domestic cup competitions.
