Crypto fan tokens record up to 170% profit in 2023!
Over the last few years crypto has begun to integrate with sports through the introduction of crypto fan tokens. Purchasing these tokens allows fans to invest in their club and engage in different ways, including allowing fans to vote on decisions within the club and have access to certain exclusives. But are they profitable?
A new study by crypto tax experts CoinLedger has analysed the price action of these fan tokens over the course of 2023. Using the data they calculated how much money someone would be starting 2024 with if they invested $100 into each coin on January 1st 2023.
For context Bitcoin had a 155.18% increase in 2023 so $100 invested in Bitcoin on January 1st 2023 would have been $255.17 on the 1st of January 2024.

Proponents highlight the engagement and interaction that these technologies allow fans to have with their favourite teams, and say it gives an increased sense of loyalty and community, however like any investment there are risk factors.
“Over the last few years, there have been volatile market conditions and many investors have lost money. Therefore it’s important to never invest what you can’t afford and to do your own in-depth research before you invest”
