300M in 24 hours: PSG and Juventus lead sports crypto charge
Yesterday marked a new dawn for crypto in sports as the leading forces in Italian and French football have listed digital assets on three of the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in partnership with the leading fintech blockchain company Chiliz driving 24 hour trading volumes of $300M.
The digital assets, known as Fan Tokens, for Paris Saint-Germain ($PSG) and Juventus ($JUV) listed on the world’s leading exchange Binance at 07:00 CET, before trading began on major Turkish exchange Paribu at 10:00 CET and top Korean exchange Upbit at 13:00 CET.
At the time of writing the 24 hour volume for $JUV stands at $150M USD, with $PSG at $121M.
The $PSG market cap now stands at $51M. $JUV is at $46M. $PSG price rose by 198% in 24 hours to €32.75, more than 16X the launch price of €2. $JUV rose by 113% to €28, a fourteen-fold increase on the launch price of €2.
$JUV and $PSG are now second and fourth in the list of top performing tokens globally as shown by the leading cryptocurrency data authority. Details on the evolution of $PSG and $JUV since launch can be found here: PSG CoinMarketCap and JUV CoinMarketCap.
The club listings are a result of strategic partnerships with Chiliz, a fintech blockchain company that provides some of the biggest sporting properties in the world with engagement and monetization opportunities through Fan Tokens on the fan influence and rewards app Socios.com.
Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus will be the first of many leading sporting organisations to have their digital assets listed on major exchanges. 18 more leading sporting organisations have partnered with Chiliz to date, including soccer clubs FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, AS Roma, Galatasaray, Trabzonspor, Istanbul Başakşehir and Esports organisations Heretics, NAVI, Alliance and OG. Chiliz have also struck up agreements with the UFC and fellow MMA outfit the Professional Fighters League (PFL). Dozens more top-tier organisations and IPs from sports and entertainment are poised to join the roster of Chiliz partners in the near future. The combined total market cap for all Fan Tokens has now reached $151M. Total 24 hour volume for all Fan Tokens is $300M.
Powered by the utility token $CHZ, Socios.com is one of the most active non-financial, consumer-facing mainstream blockchain products in the world. In just over a year it has been downloaded by more than 370,000 people, over 14m Fan Tokens have been sold, and over 700,000 votes registered on the blockchain. FC Barcelona’s ($BAR) Fan Token Offering sold out in 20 minutes, generating $1.3m, whilst Turkish team Trabzonspor’s FTO generated 5 million TRY in less than 5 minutes.
Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO & Founder of Chiliz and Socios.com said: “We have just taken a major step forward in our vision to tokenize the sports and entertainment industry over the next 5–7 years.
“This is a seminal moment for us, the start of a new trend where the world’s leading sporting organisations will have their proprietary digital assets listed on the biggest global exchanges, generating visibility, liquidity and volume. This new trend will gather pace as more of the world’s biggest sporting properties have their Fan Tokens listed in the near future.
“We will be adding many more partners from sports and entertainment in the years to come who will become part of this digital transformation and our wider global fan engagement and monetization ecosystem.”

Compliance Updates
Crypto.com Receives Limited Financial Institutions Licence in Europe
Crypto.com has announced another regulatory milestone: its EU MiCA regulated entity has received a Limited Financial Institutions licence from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). The approval allows the company to continue delivering its full suite of stablecoin services – qualifying as payment services – across the European Union, without disruption.
This additional licence is for the provision of services exclusively in relation to electronic money tokens (EMTs). The licence was acquired to navigate a complex regulatory landscape resulting in overlapping crypto asset services (MiCA) and payment services (PSD2). By securing the Limited Financial Institution Licence, Crypto.com has addressed both regulatory regimes ensuring full compliance across every aspect of its stablecoin operations.
Crypto.com’s Malta entity received MiCA approval in January 2025, allowing the company to passport services across the European Economic Area (EEA). Notably, Crypto.com already holds a full Electronic Money Institution (EMI) licence in Europe, making it one of the most comprehensively authorised platforms operating in the region.
“We are one of the most regulated crypto platforms in the world and receiving this licence proves, yet again, that we are committed to working with authorities to ensure the strongest compliance standards. Our stablecoin business and services remain a pivotal part of our European product offering so it was vital we secured this limited licence to continue providing seamless access to our institutional and retail customers,” said Eric Anziani, President and Chief Operating Officer at Crypto.com.
The limited Financial Institutions licence adds to Crypto.com’s expanding list of licences and registrations globally including, but not limited to, a UK Electronic Money Institution licence (FCA), a Major Payment Institution licence in Singapore (MAS), a Virtual Assets Service Provider licence in Dubai (VARA), U.S. Money Transmitter Licences, U.S. Designated Contracts Market (DCM) & Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) licences and recently conditional approval from the U.S. OCC for a National Trust Bank Charter.
