The $BENFICA Fan Token climbed 8.6% to $0.2276 over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data, as confirmation emerged of a completed transfer involving the Portuguese club. Trading volume reached $343,078, reflecting renewed interest following official comments from Italy.

The move was confirmed by Torino president Urbano Cairo, who stated that the Benfica full-back Rafael Obrador is set to join the club, as reported by Football Italia. Serie A side Torino signalled that negotiations between the two sides have been successfully wrapped up.

Fan Tokens are often sensitive to confirmed transfer activity, particularly when deals reach the final stages. While Obrador’s departure represents outgoing business for Benfica, such moves are commonly interpreted by Fan Token holders as part of broader squad planning, financial optimisation, or preparation for future reinforcements. This sentiment appeared to support buying pressure following the announcement.

Over the past seven days, $BENFICA has gained 18.83%, pushing the token toward its highest levels in recent trading. Market capitalisation currently stands at $1.12 million, with volume broadly in line with recent averages despite the sharp price move. From a technical perspective, the token is now trading close to a near-term resistance zone after breaking out of a prior consolidation range.

Away from the token markets, Benfica sit in third place in the Liga Portugal, 10 points behind league leaders Porto, but look to maintain pressure on second-placed Sporting Lisbon. In the Champions League, Benfica take on Juventus tomorrow. A win would see the team jump into the qualifying spots for the next round. These high-pressure matches can further influence fan engagement and sentiment around the Foken Token.

Historically, periods combining transfer activity with key fixtures have generated increased attention across fan token markets.

As Benfica balance on-pitch ambitions with off-pitch business, $BENFICA traders will continue monitoring both match results and further transfer developments for short-term momentum drivers.
