$VERDAO and $FLU Surge After Major Buy: 100K $CHZ Buys Push Prices Up

A major move in the Fan Token market has turned heads: a single buyer purchased $VERDAO and $FLU Fan Tokens for 100,000 CHZ each on FANX, triggering a sharp 20% price increase for both.
The sudden demand spike has created a clear arbitrage opportunity. While $VERDAO and $FLU trade at a premium on FANX, prices remain roughly 20% lower on Mercado Bitcoin, meaning sharp traders can take advantage of the price gap, buying on Mercado and selling on FANX for a potential instant return.
For Palmeiras fans, this surge follows the club’s qualification for the Club World Cup quarter-finals. That momentum and high-volume token movement have added fuel to $VERDAO’s growing market presence. $VERDAO now trades at $0.27, the highest price it has been during the competition.
$FLU’s bump comes amid a solid Club World Cup campaign, where the first team is due to take on Al-Hilal in the quarter-finals, after knocking out Inter Milan. This move saw the price of $FLU return to $0.80.
The scale and precision of the double purchase suggest a calculated play, possibly a whale positioning early ahead of further token utility announcements or tournament wins.
As always in the fan token space, price can be driven as much by the buyer’s passion as by match results and this purchase, as we witness the Club World Cup quarter finals comes at a crucial time.
