Swedish esports organisation Team Alliance have announced plans to launch an $ALL Fan Token on fan voting and rewards app Socios.com.
Alliance will make esports fan engagement history when they launch their first poll on Socios.com, with fans to be asked which game the organisation pick up a team in next.
$ALL Fan Tokens will give owners many benefits, including the right to vote in Alliance polls. Fan Token owners can also connect with other fans in Socios Chat and look forward to VIP rewards and exclusive club and sponsor promotions.
Alliance will become the fourth esports organisation to join the Socios.com platform following OG, Team Heretics and Natus Vincere. Major sports clubs, including FC Barcelona, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have all also launched Fan Tokens.

Team Alliance, in partnership with Chiliz, have announced plans to launch an $ALL Fan Token on blockchain-based fan voting and rewards app Socios.com.

Alliance is a world-renowned esports organization fielding competitive players across some of the most popular video games in the world including DOTA2, Apex Legends, Super Smash Bros, Fortnite and TrackMania. Their Dota 2 team, headed by Jonathan “Loda” Berg, won The International 2013.

Alliance has become one of the most recognizable brands in esports, with acclaimed players such as Adam “Armada” Lindgren leading Smash and a Dota 2 legacy that has created countless memories for fans and players alike. Since its foundation in 2013, Alliance has had a Nordic focus and is based in Sweden. In 2016 Alliance became an independent, player-owned organization.

$ALL Fan Tokens will give owners many benefits, including the right to vote in Alliance polls. For the historic first poll, fans will be asked to choose which game the organisation picks up a team in next. Fan Token owners can also connect with other fans in Socios Chat and look forward to VIP rewards and exclusive club and sponsor promotions.

The maximum supply of $ALL Fan Tokens will be 5 million with a limited number to be made available at a fixed price of $1 in an initial flash sale to take place in the coming months. The date of the sale will be revealed soon. $ALL Fan Tokens will be available after the flash sale, but price will then be determined by demand.

Socios.com Fan Token partners include esports organisations Natus Vincere ‘NAVI’, Team Heretics, and OG as well as 13 major soccer clubs including FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus. Socios.com also has a global fan engagement partnership with MMA giants UFC, while fellow MMA organisation the Professional Fighters League (PFL) will launch a Fan Token in early 2021. Additional partnership announcements from esports and other sports are expected before the end of the year.

Details on when the $ALL Fan Token and more information about the historic first poll will be revealed in the near future.

Jonathan ‘Loda’ Berg of Team Alliance said, “I am extremely excited to announce that we are partnering with Socios.com to launch $ALL Fan Tokens.

“We exist for our fans and we want to give them a direct say in key decisions, such as which games we pick up and what we feature on our team jerseys. $ALL Fan Token will also give Alliance fans the chance to win a tonne of rewards and unique VIP experiences.

“The first poll, which will open as soon as we launch the $ALL Fan Token on Socios.com, is going to set a new milestone for fan engagement in esports. There’s going to be more details about the launch date and that huge first poll soon. Make sure you’re ready to cast your vote!

Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO & Founder of Chiliz and Socios.com, said: “We are delighted to welcome Team Alliance on board as the latest esports organization to join Socios.com.

“$ALL Fan Tokens are going to give fans a big say in the future of the organisation and real decision making power starting with the incredible first poll to choose which game Alliance will pick up a team in next. Fans can look forward to connecting with each other in Socios Chat, amazing VIP rewards plus exclusive promotions linked to Alliance and their sponsors”

SCCG Management, a global advisory firm serving the gaming industry, has entered into a strategic partnership with Coinspaid Solutions, a blockchain payments infrastructure provider, to support go-to-market efforts for crypto-enabled payment solutions across selected gaming markets.

Under the partnership, SCCG will support Coinspaid’s business development, strategic introductions and commercial expansion across gaming operators, platforms and technology providers. SCCG states that it works across iGaming, sports betting, tribal gaming and broader gaming technology, drawing on more than 30 years of industry experience.

Coinspaid’s infrastructure enables businesses to accept more than 20 stablecoins & other cryptocurrencies, automate conversion into 40+ fiat currencies, and manage payouts and treasury operations through a single infrastructure layer with API and plugin-based integrations. The company also states that it builds compliance into onboarding and payment flows, including AML/KYC/KYB controls, on-chain monitoring, MLRO oversight, ISO/IEC 27001 certification and independent audits.

The partnership will focus on helping licensed gaming businesses evaluate where crypto payments can improve settlement speed, expand payment optionality for cross-border audiences, and streamline payout workflows, subject to jurisdictional review, onboarding and applicable regulatory requirements in each market. Coinspaid also highlights rate lock at checkout, automatic fiat conversion and final settlement on eligible crypto payment flows.

“As gaming businesses continue to expand across markets, the demand for payment infrastructure that is both commercially effective and operationally resilient is only increasing,” said Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “Coinspaid Solutions brings together payments, payouts and compliance in a way that aligns with how many operators are thinking about growth today. We are pleased to support their expansion through our network across gaming and gaming technology.”

“At Coinspaid, we see sustainable growth in gaming as a combination of product capability, operational reliability and a compliance-first approach,” said Max Krupyshev, Co-founder of Coinspaid. “Our partnership with SCCG is designed to help businesses assess where stablecoin payments can add real value from player deposits and payouts to treasury operations, while keeping regulatory and risk considerations central to implementation.”

The partnership will also include coordinated business development and educational initiatives, including executive introductions, and educational content for operators and technology partners exploring blockchain payment infrastructure.

Crypto Snack, the blockchain-based crypto infrastructure company behind the $SNACK token, has announced the full scope of its multi-vertical ecosystem — spanning a Premier League football partnership, institutional-grade real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation, licensed iGaming, a live consumer rewards platform and an integrated crypto wallet and payments app.

The announcement marks a strategic repositioning for the project, which has spent the past 18 months building infrastructure, securing partnerships and obtaining licences ahead of a coordinated 2026 launch across all five verticals.

“Most crypto projects pick one lane. We’ve built five — and every single one generates real revenue for the token. This isn’t a roadmap built on promises. The partnerships are signed, the licences are secured, and the technology is built. 2026 is about execution,” Stuart Morrison, CEO and Founder of Crypto Snack.

Premier League Partnership

Crypto Snack has secured a partnership with an English Premier League football club, making it the first project to process cryptocurrency payments for a PL club. The integration covers matchday ticket purchases, merchandise sales, LED stadium advertising, VIP hospitality packages, and Ticketmaster-integrated ticketing — with $SNACK enabled as a direct payment method.

The club name remains under embargo ahead of a formal joint announcement in the coming weeks.

Real-World Asset Tokenisation

Crypto Snack facilitated and represents the Alkemya Metacore Security Token Offering (STO), which is listing on a regulated tokenised securities exchange. The STO comprises 800 million tokens, with Crypto Snack holding a 3% allocation. Proceeds are received in USDT, with remaining tokens generating ongoing cash distributions.

The company is actively tokenising UK real estate, commodities, and securities at institutional scale, with projects valued at up to $1.5 billion.

Licensed iGaming

Snack Casino and Snack Bet — a fully licensed online casino and sportsbook — are scheduled to launch in 2026, operated by a strategic iGaming partner under a licensed agreement to use the Crypto Snack brand. All bonuses, rewards and referral incentives will be distributed exclusively in $SNACK tokens, creating a recurring demand mechanism for the token independent of speculative trading.

Live Consumer Rewards

Snack Rewards is already live in the US through a partnership with Affina Loyalty, offering cashback paid in $SNACK tokens across more than 2000 brands including Apple, Nike, IKEA and Uber. The merchant-funded model means brands fund the cashback directly, with Crypto Snack earning a 1% commission on every transaction. UK and European expansion is scheduled for Q3 2026.

Snack App and Wallet

The Snack App will serve as the central gateway to the entire ecosystem, featuring a built-in crypto wallet with virtual debit cards, buy/sell/trade functionality and unified access to all rewards and loyalty programmes. The app is designed for mainstream adoption, removing the technical barriers that typically prevent non-crypto users from entering the space.
