Spain’s Fan Token (SNFT) Takes Dive despite Euro 2024 Victory

As a seasoned crypto investor and an ardent fan of football, I have witnessed the fascinating intersection of these two worlds through the lens of fan tokens. The recent turn of events with the Spain National Fan token (SNFT) has left me both intrigued and puzzled.


Spain has emerged as the newest European champion by defeating England in the UEFA tournament finale on Sunday. Despite the country’s jubilation following their record-breaking fourth European Championship victory, the Spain National Fan token (SNFT), the official cryptocurrency of the Spanish national team, remains unfazed by this latest achievement. The lack of response from SNFT to this significant development is quite unexpected.

At the time of this article’s release, the SNFT token had experienced a 23.21% decrease in value over the last 24 hours, dropping to $0.02481. Additionally, its market capitalization followed suit with a corresponding 23.21% reduction, amounting to approximately $568,000.

SNFT Token Slides amid Market-Wide Recovery

In contrast to the prevailing pattern among popular fan tokens like Paris Saint-Germain Fan Token and FC Barcelona Fan Token, which have been gaining traction on the Bitci platform, the SNFT token has remained stagnant. Notably, these leading fan tokens have experienced a 1.2% increase in value. The uptick of these tokens could indicate a revived enthusiasm for Bitcoin investment. However, it’s puzzling why the SNFT token hasn’t followed suit, given the impressive performances of their respective teams during the Euros.

In 2021, the Spanish national football team introduced the SNFT token through a partnership with the Turkish blockchain company Bitci. This initiative aimed to boost fan interaction and enjoyment, catering to the interests of sports fans and financial investors.

It seems that the primary reason for SNFT’s price drop recently is referred to as a “sell-the-fact” event among analysts. Given that the token had significantly increased by over 70% to reach $0.03845 just a few days prior to the announcement.

As a market analyst, I’ve noticed a consistent pattern in fan token prices leading up to sports events. Based on research, these tokens often experience significant growth prior to the tournament starting. Surprisingly, they may even sustain those gains throughout the event. However, once the tournament concludes and the excitement subsides, a downturn typically ensues. A study from 2022’s FIFA World Cup illustrated this trend, which is reminiscent of the “buy the rumor, sell the fact” phenomenon that occurred in the fan token market during that time.

On and Off-Field Performances

Currently, scholars are exploring the potential connection between the worth of fan tokens and the achievements of their associated sports teams during competitions. Some argue that a team’s performance has no impact on the value of these tokens, while others strongly believe it does play a role.

Regardless of the outcome, Spain and its football federation can go on rejoicing at present. Nevertheless, crypto enthusiasts remain optimistic that the value of the SNFT token will recover, allowing them to support their team in future competitions and be proud of their achievements.
