Are Soccer Fans Dumping the Champions’ Coin?

It appears that many crypto holders might have dumped Argentine Football Association Fan Token (ARG) in the last 24 hours. According to some crypto analysts, itโ€™s a โ€œbuy the rumor, sell the newsโ€ situation. Allegedly, the heaviest whales are taking out liquidity, thus causing the decline in ARG market price.

At press time, Argentine Football Association Fan Token (ARG) is priced at $2.94, according to CoinGecko. The 804th-ranked soccer altcoin drowned in a bloodbath of 49.5%, also shrinking twice in its market capitalization, getting cut in half from $22M to $11M in just 24 hours.

The soccer-related blockchain Chiliz (CHZ) went through a similar deficit in the last 30 days, having shrunk from $1.37bn to just $622 million today.

Further on, the FIFA World Cup 2022 controversy saw Qatari authorities drowning in legal complaints filed by FIFA during the tournament. The legal incidents and discontentment from soccer fans in Dohaโ€™s fan zones eventually resulted in the altcoin powering the soccer fan platform Socios.com losing 57.2% of its value in the last 30 days.

At press time, CHZ trades at $0.116007, falling by another 6.5% in the last 24 hours. Moreover, the European soccer token dropped out of the TOP 50 by global market cap, sending CHZ back to May levels when Terra (LUNA) and Terra (UST) crashed, which sent the whole crypto market on a downward slope.
