Fan Tokens and SportsFi might be very new terms to some in the crypto industry, but probably not to the biggest soccer and football fans around the world.
In this episode, Ian Andrews (CMO, Chainalysis) learns everything about Fan Tokens from Alexandre Dreyfus (CEO, Socios.com + Chiliz) who are working with premier league soccer clubs, F1 racing teams, NFL and UFC partners to bring fandom to the blockchain .
Alex discusses the concept of Fan Tokens and their growth in the sports industry and how they allow fans to have a voice and vote on decisions related to their favorite sports teams.
He also highlights the importance of regulation and compliance in the industry, as well as the challenges of security and user experience. He expresses optimism about the future of Fan Tokens and the potential for further innovation in the space, including challenging regulatory landscapes like in the USA.
Alex touches on how Fan Tokens differ from traditional NFTs and how his team is exploring a non-custodial platform in order to give users more autonomy.
