Ronaldo Linked Portugal Fan Token Better Than Messi Argentine Fan Token
After the shock loss to Saudi Arabia by Messi, the Argentine Football Association Fan Token(ARG) has been in steady decline. The same was true following Argentina’s win against Mexico. ARG prices fell 25% after the defeat to Saudi Arabia and 22% after the Mexico victory. The Portugal National Team Fan Token, (POR), rose as high as 119% in just 10 days before the tournament. Despite an unbeaten streak, the currency lost nearly 50% after the world cup started.
The recent crypto price crash could be responsible for the drop in fan token prices. The market is currently in a difficult position to recover after the bankruptcy of BlockFi and FTX. Experts claim that the volume of football fan tokens increased by 10 times. Kaiko, a crypto data company, stated that the average daily trading volume for the tokens rose from $32 million last month to $300 million in November.
