FIFA to launch cryptocurrency

FIFA to launch cryptocurrency

Bitget2025/03/09 02:40

PANews reported on March 9 that according to Crypto.news, Gianni Infantino, president of the International Football Federation (FIFA), said that the organization may develop its own cryptocurrency token. Infantino expressed FIFA's interest in creating digital tokens to interact with global fans when he attended President Trump's White House Cryptocurrency Summit on March 7. "FIFA is very interested in developing FIFA tokens, starting here, starting in the United States, to conquer 5 billion football fans around the world." "If anyone here is interested in working with FIFA, we are here, together with the United States of America, we will conquer the football world with FIFA tokens."

Despite the lack of specific details or timelines, the statement hinted that FIFA is exploring blockchain technology as a potential way to attract fans and generate revenue. Trump responded: "The value of this coin may eventually exceed FIFA. In fact, it may be a very valuable token." The statement came as FIFA was preparing for the 2026 World Cup, when the United States, Canada and Mexico will co-host the World Cup.

After the summit, a cryptocurrency called "FIFA" surged. The price of the token increased by 357,000% in a single day, reaching a market value of about $8.2 million. However, the token has no connection with FIFA.
