FC Barcelona’s defeat against Inter Milan has not only plunged Catalan fans into dismay. This Champions League shock also shook another world, that of cryptos. Because behind the digital scenes, another match was being played: that of fan tokens. And while blaugrana supporters are feeling down, holders of the $INTER token were rejoicing.

Inter crushes Barcelona… and ignites fan tokens

The 4-3 scoreline signed Inter Milan against Barça made stadiums vibrate, but also crypto wallets. The token $INTER jumped 10.5% after qualification, reaching $1.19 the day after the match. Conversely, $BAR, FC Barcelona’s token, plunged 19.5% in 24 hours.

The curves mimicked the field: sharp rebounds and drops. During the 3-3, $INTER had lost 20%, before regaining 30% after the winning goal.

INTER wins a 7-goal match! Final secured. Graphs explode.

On the pitch, Yann Sommer was relentless. The Swiss goalkeeper extinguished Catalan hopes.

We believe until the last second. We work for these matches, for these moments.

With seven decisive saves, he offered much more than a ticket to Munich. He boosted $INTER traders’ euphoria.

PSG-Arsenal: tokens ready to explode

Tonight, all eyes turn to PSG-Arsenal. And fan tokens are already boiling. $PSG and $AFC show volumes doubled in 24 hours.

Polymarket gives 47.1% chance for Paris to win the final. Inter at 38.6%, Arsenal at 13%. The price of $PSG could rise to $3 if victorious. However, a defeat could push it down to $2.23, according to the 200-4H EMA.

$AFC follows a cup-and-handle pattern, with a 17% potential on success. But failure would bring the token down to between $0.63 and $0.56.

Every goal, every victory generates rewards. It’s not just farming. It’s tokenized hype.

Crypto traders are sleepless. Football fuels their adrenaline.

Crypto, business and connected stands

Fan tokens are not just digital gadgets. They are utility assets based on the Chiliz blockchain. They allow access to votes, exclusive experiences, content, and meet-ups. Unlike NFTs, they are fungible. And that changes everything.

The Tether investment in Juventus served as a catalyst. $JUV jumped over 200%. Other tokens followed: Lazio, Porto, Paris… The model is spreading. Bonuses are now offered to holders: up to $5,000 per win, $10,000 for the final.

Here are some key figures:

This bridge between the real world and the blockchain transforms clubs’ economics. A new business model is building, between passion, speculation, and loyalty. Crypto and football merge in a new dynamic where the pitch influences Japanese candlesticks.

In 2022, the Argentine fan token $ARG soared after the World Cup victory. This precedent shows that key moments awaken token markets. As the Champions League approaches its conclusion, it would be wise to watch the upcoming matches. Because if history repeats itself, crypto fans might be raising their arms even before the final whistle.
