“30 minutes before listing of @juventusfc $JUV and @PSG_inside $PSG on Binance. The price action is already very intense with almost 60 to 120% increase since the announcement. Don't have expectations. Just enjoy the fact that 2 of the biggest brands in the world will be traded.”

What are Fan Tokens?

The Juventus Fan Token (JUV) and Paris Saint-Germain Fan Tokens (PSG) both have a total token supply of 20,000,000 fan tokens, but what are they exactly?

Fan tokens are a form of tokenized asset, that represents proof of ownership or even membership for holders. As tokens are already being used for a wide range of purposes, many specialized blockchains have been developed with native intent to support tokens, the most common of which is currently Ethereum and their ERC standard tokens.

Socios.com is an app for football (soccer) fans, where users can acquire voting rights to influence the clubs they support by acquiring club-specific Fan tokens.

Chiliz ($CHZ) is an ERC20 utility token on the Ethereum blockchain that serves as the digital currency for the chiliZ and Socios.com platform. In launching their platform, alongside other sports blockchain ventures, a new category of token has emerged — the Fan Token. Once onboard the Socios.com platform, yet to-be-announced club partners host what has been called a Fan Token Offering (FTO). Fans must purchase $CHZ via a cryptocurrency exchange in order to acquire Fan Tokens. These tokens — which are specific to a team or club — are a finite, digital asset that provide access to an encrypted ledger of voting and membership rights ownership.
