Glancing over the Serie A table ahead of matchweek 7 leaves a broad smile upon the faces of Fan Token holders. The top 5 places are indeed Fan Token partners, as the teams lead the way on the pitch, in the table and in the markets too. This week saw major gains for $ATM, as Atletico Madrid blew fans away, while José Mourinho’s presence started to lift $BENFICA.

Let’s break down another week where sports and crypto collide:

The week’s early gainer was $LAZIO. Lazio’s 3-0 win over Genoa sparked a 42% surge in $LAZIO, cementing their token as one of the week’s best performers. The same day also saw reflection on José Mourinho’s return to Benfica, raising questions on whether “The Special One” can influence Fan Token markets as much as he does football following his return to where it all began for him, at Benfica.

New Fan Token listings on Cube

On September 30, Cube Exchange broadened horizons with new listings: Udinese ($UDI), SC Internacional ($SACI), and Tigres UANL ($TIGRES), marking the first Mexican club Fan Token on the platform.

On the Formula 1 circuit, Team Alpine’s Fan Token $ALPINE was boosted by a 22% price increase, hitting the $6.75 mark as healthy speculation about the team continues to drive hype.

Atletico Madrid stun markets

October opened with fireworks. On October 1st, the Madrid Derby stunned the markets after Atletico’s 5-2 win over Real Madrid and a 5-1 Champions League triumph over Frankfurt pushed $ATM up 44%. The same day, anticipation built around Barcelona v PSG, a Champions League clash of Fan Token giants that captured global attention.

On October 2nd, focus shifted to Portugal as $PORTO rose 7% ahead of their Europa League meeting with Red Star Belgrade. Meanwhile, Benfica’s $BENFICA climbed 5.4%, boosted by Mourinho’s unbeaten domestic start and the looming clash against their arch-rivals Porto.

Fan Token partners dominate Serie A standings

The Serie A also dominated the narrative. With Juventus v Milan headlining and Inter, Roma, and Napoli all in action, the five Italian giants – all Fan Token partners – ensured that this weekend would be as crucial for token holders as it is for fans in the stands.

La Liga Fan Token clash

Sevilla and Barcelona lock horns in La Liga on Saturday, and as the undefeated Barcelona look to maintain their impressive start. The pre kick off price of $BAR is an attractive $1.03 with volumes expected to shift after the weekend.

Crystal Palace still undefeated

More great news for Fan Token holders as another partner looks to remain undefeated, this time over in the Premier League. Crystal Palace are catching everyone by surprise with a brilliant tactical philosophy. They sit third and travel to the stubborn and effective Everton, who are doing so well in their new stadium. It’s another Fan Token clash, with $CPFC trading for around $0.70 ahead of the weekend. All eyes will be on Oliver Glasner’s men as they look to keep up their form and style.

It’s incredible to see so many Fan Token partners thriving this season, as we notice the big hitters are often the main innovators. We look forward to more growth, more changes and more trades just before the domestic leagues pause for the international break.
