The token behind the sports and entertainment blockchain platform Chiliz Chain – Chiliz ($CHZ) – saw its valuation increase by 28% on Friday, Dec. 19, as it led the charts among Coinmarketcap’s top 200 coins.

Through its Socios Wallet, Chiliz enables fans of football, Formula 1, Esports, and just about every other sporting activity to invest in the success of their favourite teams through Fan Tokens.

Already adopted by major sporting institutions like Juventus ($JUV), Paris Saint-Germain ($PSG), Manchester City ($CITY), the UFC ($UFC), and numerous others, Fan Tokens allow fans to apply their knowledge of the game to the crypto charts, while also enabling voting rights for major club and team decisions.

As the Chiliz price surged upwards on Friday, its momentum proved enough to carry a number of Fan Tokens with it, as many gained between 20-35%.
