FTX to List Chiliz Fan Tokens for Sports Supporters

Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX exchange is making Chiliz fan tokens available on its platform, the companies announced Tuesday.

• FTX said it will start by making $INTER and $GAL tokens available on its platform to sports fans around the world. $INTER is the fan token of Italy’s Inter Milan while $GAL is that for Turkey’s Galatasary Sports Club.
• Chiliz is a Malta-based platform that provides fan tokens in partnership with sports clubs. The tokens are collectible, tradable digital assets allowing holders to access VIP experiences, rewards, games, content, chat forums and competitions on Chiliz fan engagement platform Socios.com.
• FTX said it will soon list other Chiliz tokens such as $PSG, $CITY and $BAR.
• “Bringing Fan Tokens to our platform through this partnership with Chiliz provides our users with a new way of engaging with the teams they support,” said FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried in a statement.
• Chiliz has opened new regional headquarters in Madrid, Istanbul and São Paulo and plans to open a new North American office. It expects many more major sporting organizations to launch fan tokens in the future.
• In March, Chiliz announced plans to spend $50 million on an expansion in the U.S. to launch fan tokens for U.S. sports leagues.
