South Korea’s largest crypto exchange UPbit said on Jan. 5 that it would list several fan tokens, including that of AC Milan (ACM), Atletico Madrid, Manchester City (CITY), Naples (NAP), Arsenal (AFC), Barcelona (BAR), and Inter Milan (INTER).
The exchange said the initial tradings of the assets would be based on its users’ deposits, and there could be “sudden price fluctuations due to excessive or insufficient liquidity.”
Meanwhile, the exchange added that it would only support deposits from Chiliz-chain for the fan tokens.
The CEO of Chiliz blockchain Alexandre Dreyfus said the network would bring more football and sports brands to South Korea because it is “one of the biggest crypto markets and with a massive fandom culture.”
