Tottenham Hotspur Ventures into the World of Fan Tokens with Chiliz Chain

Tottenham Hotspur, the renowned English Premier League football club, is moving into digital fan tokens. Through a collaboration with Chiliz Chain, the club aims to enrich fan engagement by presenting them with unique rewards and special experiences.

For this exciting venture, Tottenham will issue the SPURS token, making it available to fans via Socios.com. This well-known platform is a hotspot for fan engagement and rewards. Leveraging the prowess of Chiliz (CHZ) Chain, a robust SportFi network with a user base exceeding two million, the SPURS token will seamlessly integrate Tottenham Hotspur into an elite group of sports teams. Currently, around 80 teams are harnessing the power of the Chiliz Chain to connect with their fans worldwide.

Already in partnership with MatchWornShirt, Tottenham enhances the prominence and trustworthiness of the Chiliz Chain. This alliance gives a unique edge, especially as MatchWornShirt auctions gain verification on this chain. Plus, owners of $SPURS will get the privilege to engage in on-chain voting, sparking more fan interactions.

With its origins dating back to 2018, Chiliz Chain stands out as a tailored solution for the sporting world. It boasts an impressive two million user wallets and a whopping daily traffic of over 60,000 users. Teams and leagues collaborating with this blockchain platform have witnessed a staggering $400M in revenue since its launch.

Ryan Norys, the Commercial Sales Director at Tottenham Hotspur, shared his excitement:

“Our Fan Token will supplement the benefits of our current membership scheme. This partnership also illustrates the club’s ongoing efforts to generate additional recurring revenue sources for reinvestment in our football activities.”

As October 4, 2023, approaches, fans eagerly await the SPURS token’s official debut through a Fan Token Offering (FTO). After its grand unveiling, SPURS aims to make its mark on major global exchanges, catering to fans from diverse markets, including the bustling Asian scene.

However, the launch of SPURS comes at a transformative time. New regulations from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) loom on the horizon in the UK. These crypto-focused guidelines demand straightforward risk disclosures in promotional materials. Following the FCA’s guidance, any crypto asset advertised in the UK must warn potential investors: “Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment, and you should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong.”
